subject: rpi4 as server?

Hi all; a quick query about speeds.

I currently use an old i386 machine as home server (everything from
local NFS file-store, to bind, to email server). It's an acer aspire
r3700, running at 1.8GHz, 2 proc/4 thread job. It runs freebsd headless,
and I use vnc for day-to-day operations on it.

I'm contemplating replacing with a rpi4, which I gather is now supported
by freebsd, using a usb3 external hard drive. But is this likely to
prove slower or problematic for any other reason?

TIA for any thoughts.
