..and now my p7 dmesg as well as the p4 one, and a diff between the two,
which highlights two, peculiarities, as Matthew called them:

-FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p4 #0: Sat May 28 12:23:44 UTC 2016
+FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p7 #0: Thu Aug 11 18:38:15 UTC 2016
(...)
-CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (4000.07-MHz K8-class CPU)
+CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (4439.49-MHz K8-class CPU)
(...)
-Timecounter "TSC-low" frequency 2000036900 Hz quality 1000
+Timecounter "TSC-low" frequency 1109872466 Hz quality 1000

Not sure which I like better for the culprit, the 4439.49 MHz equals 4.0 Ghz
or the different timecounter frequencies. The former nicely corresponds with
the "10%" of time I lose.
