As a matter of fact, yes, Linux and FreeBSD are indeed more "scalable" and usually faster in heavy workloads that involve databases, heavy input/output loads etc in multiprocessor systems. However, the question here is: Are you willing to sacrifice OpenBSD's security and correctness to get the SMP scalability these other OSes offer? Do *you* really need all that stuff, or want to run it because it "should be faster"? Just test your application and see if you really need the extra performance. Speaking for myself, I am happily willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for everything else OpenBSD does right.
