Interesting.  RACK works for me:

net.inet.tcp.functions_available:
Stack                           D Alias                            PCB count
freebsd                           freebsd                          0
rack                            * rack                             23

I don't see any lags when starting/using FireFox or any other browser.

Mail delivery (in/out) is also not affected.

But GENERIC, which is loaded by GENERIC-NODEBUG, doesn't support RACK.

These entries are missing in GENERIC:

makeoptions     WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1
options         TCPHPTS
options         TCP_RACK
