Without knowing more, it could be either. Memory leaks have been identified (& fixed...) this year:

what is the best way to recover from this? A hard reset?
Yes.

Is there any way to debug this so I can provide more feedback to the OpenBSD team?
My suggestion would be to play with systat(1)'s pf & pigs switches attempting to isolate this further. I realize that this is easier said than done.
