I would think that would be a fair question to ask the person who told
you PF is garbage because it is multithreaded:
"Under what circumstances would threading or lack thereof have
have identifiable impact on performance?"
If they can't come up with a coherent answer to that question, this is
just yet another iteration of the "OpenBSD is {crap,insecure,written
and used only by dickheads} because it does not have $my_favorite_toy"
nonsense.
