hello,

i read somewhere that openbsd is not as scalable as other OS. this atricle,
for example.  http://www.serverwatch.com/sreviews/article.php/3415651
but the reviews and benchmarks that i could find are about two years old or so. does anyone know whether performance has improved since? i am asking
this question just for educational purposes.

Instead of wasting your time with the question and everyone else's time suffering it, JUST TRY THE OS. If it meets your scalability/ performance needs, GREAT! If it doesn't, find something else that does. What is the point of making generalizations about OpenBSD vs Linux vs Solaris vs Windows? Particularly when this is for "educational purposes".

Learn the UNIX mantra - "right tool for the job". OpenBSD is either the right tool for your task, or it isn't.

P.S. Sorry for flying off the handle, but as an engineer, I have a difficult time when people ask obtuse questions that fail to focus on their real-life applications.
