RaspBSD – FreeBSD images for the Raspberry Pi

It's the same approach the official Linux Raspberry PI images follow that way you can support all raspberry pi versions with a single images.

There potentially could be an speed up by rebuilding everything for armv7 (specially for NEON-fp) but no one has done it yet.

Any idea what kind of speedup one could expect?

I don't know, but I would assume it's similar to setting CPUTYPE in your make.conf so binaries are built with some cpu-specific asm for your specific flavor of x86 CPU: you'll get a performance boost, but nothing mind-blowing.
