The biggest drawback of OpenBSD in my opinion is (as stated in section 1.2
of the OpenBSD FAQ):
"Yes, OpenBSD will run on your multiprocessor machine, but it will only
use one processor. There currently is no support for SMP".
If you aren't using a multiprocessor machine, then OpenBSD is probably a
good choice. My home workstation has two processors, thus OpenBSD would be
a poor choice for me.
