Apart from threads, there's also anything that needs > 1GB MAXDSIZ (squid, R). And of course, openbsd's SMP support doesn't scale well at all. The benefits of adding extra CPUs are tiny. The network code is all in a single kernel thread, as is the filesystem, so I don't think you can say those scale well. What exactly is left? If you want me to do some benchmarks and show openbsd scaling poorly compared to linux and freebsd I can. But that's just going to result in even more rabid fanboys with no clue coming out of the woodwork to fill the list with crap. If there's an interest in what needs improved, I could do some stuff and send it to you offlist though, if you like. Adam
