Me too. Although it is not serious, but I'm very curious to know the reason.
Furthermore, in my past experience on Slackware, I noticed that Slackware lagged 1 second on login and NetBSD lagged around 1 second on logout. In this perspective FreeBSD is the fastest. But I still prefer to NetBSD over everything else for the concepts of portability and clean source code.

Thanks,
