Random TCP 3 second delay

MD> 3 seconds delay usually indicate packet loss somewhere along the

I don't think i have packet loss, traffic is going via loopback

MD> controller stats via "sysctl dev.<driver>" (if any).
I don't see dropped packets on lo0 with netstat -id
What  should i see in "netstat -s" and "vmstat -z"?

MD> You may also want to check if you by accident have some statefull 
MD> firewall between nginx and backend.
I  have  only  ipfw  rules,  and  the  first  rule is accepting local
traffic: 00005 8211184509 4547370329265 allow ip from me to me

can this be the problem?
