Is *BSD routing performance still lagging behind Linux? On Debian 12, I can saturate my 25Gbps link between PCs (the router has a 9600X), and can push north of 4Gbps through Wireguard.

I was under the impression this was one of the main use of *BSD (lot of networking hardware is based on it). Where did you see it was lagging behind ?
I haven't personally tested, but have seen reports that BSD-based opnSense struggles to push 2.5G on modern low-end hardware (mini-PCs). I find that surprising considering I can fully saturate my 25G link on a Ryzen 5 running Linux. The Ryzen is considerably faster than an N100, but not 10x faster.
