Hello. I'm using Firefox and Chromium (from packages) to browse the internet on OpenBSD 6.3 (amd64). The problem is that their performance in OpenBSD is very poor compared to other OSes. Everything I found regarding boosting their performance: 1) Changing some values in login.conf for login group staff and adding myself to that login class: staff:\ :datasize-cur=4096M:\ :datasize-max=infinity:\ :openfiles-cur=1024:\ :stacksize-cur=64M:\ :maxproc-max=512:\ :maxproc-cur=512:\ :ignorenologin:\ :requirehome@:\ :tc=default:
2) sysctl kern.shminfo.shmall=268435456 All of this was taken from here: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Coddling-bloated-web-browsers-etc-or-how-far-does-kern-shminfo-shmall-usefully-go-td244155.html These changes to the system don't seem to have any effect. Loading pages is slow, watching online video is possible but the responsiveness of the browser becomes awful. Do I need additional settings to fix this? dmesg: OpenBSD 6.3-current (GENERIC.MP) #13: Thu Jun 14 17:29:44 MDT 2018 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 8442433536 (8051MB) avail mem = 8108933120 (7733MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.7 @ 0xe9374 (57 entries) bios0: vendor Hewlett-Packard version "K01 v02.57" date 11/16/2012 bios0: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 All-in-One PC acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP APIC MCFG HPET SSDT SSDT SLIC SSDT SSDT TCPA ASF!
