Dear everyone,
With the above disclaimer said, and still knowing the potential for a
war, I must say this: There is not much hope for OpenBSD to ever become
a desktop (or laptop) OS if the nightmarish sluggishness of ALL modern

Have you properly configured your user?
What I usually do is:
1) be sure my user has the "staff" class:
# grep dcoppa /etc/master.passwd
dcoppa:***:1000:1000:staff:0:0:David Coppa:/home/dcoppa:/bin/ksh
2) I have this at the top of my ~/.profile:
---8<---
# bump limits
ulimit -S -d $(ulimit -H -d)
ulimit -S -n $(ulimit -H -n)
ulimit -S -p $(ulimit -H -p)
ulimit -S -s $(ulimit -H -s)

With chromium or iridium it's not as bad as you have described.
Personally I use iridium on a daily basis.
Ciao!

I have to agree with David - here I used chrome on a daily basis with a
minimum of two chrome windows with at least 4 tabs in each - and I do
not see the issues you describe, my laptop is coming up for 4 years old,
with some info from dmesg shown at [1].
Cheers
Fred
PS I have been a happy OpenBSD desktop user since July 2001 :~)
