This is comparing apples with diving boards. Different protocols (FTP vs. HTTP), different amounts of data being searched for and returned, different server farm infrastructures, and the servers are located in different countries. And the FTP server being queried isn't running OpenBSD. But you're comparing workstations.
If you want to compare different workstation OSes, try comparing the same transaction. Hint: OpenBSD will probably
not be the fastest performer. It will, however, likely be more stable, likely be the easiest and quickest to install and maintain, perhaps the easiest to understand, and unless you misconfigure your applications or install insecure ones, is likely to be the most secure from external attack vectors.
