Well, Firefox is undoubtedly the slowest piece of software I'm using with OpenBSD. I tried some tweaks (googling around you'll find plenty of discussion related to this point), but none of them really effective. I partially tackled the slow scrolling disabling the "smooth scrolling" (Preferences -> Advanced) and reducing the keyboard repetition rate: xset r rate 660 10 (the latter can help also with other applications which ofter redraw the whole screen, e.g. Vim when cursorline is set).
