For comparison, the same processor under 10.2 (really must find time to
upgrade)

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (3997.77-MHz K8-class CPU)

Timecounter "TSC-low" frequency 1998885348 Hz quality 1000

The only thing I can think of is that I don't have turbo mode enabled:

dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 4001/88000 4000/88000 3800/81704 etc...
dev.cpu.0.freq: 4000

What does "sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq" show on your machine?
