Now... in case someone here is willing to help instead of talking, feel free to go to http://wiki.freebsd.org/BenchmarkAdvice and have a look what can be improved. The page is far from perfect and needs some additional people which are willing to improve it.

I can say with certainty that this value belongs in /etc/make.conf

src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk has no framework for MK_MALLOC_PRODUCTION,
so, this is definitely a make.conf variable.
