Great tips! For a fresh install of OpenBSD, enabling softupdates may also help a bit (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#SoftUpdates). I know it's trivial, but maybe it's not that obvious for newbies. Also, having a supported video card would help in some "heavy" desktop environments, like Xfce (the new radeon driver in 5.5 made quite the difference on my machine).
