I'm a www/vimb user and also noticed the laggy keyboard in OpenBSD.
Less so in Debian Buster where webkitgtk2 is sandboxed via bubblewrap.

Keyboard lag seems to improve when the cache is cleared.
Code:
:clearcache/:cl
I also have a script which clears everything:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
> ${HOME}/.config/vimb/closed && > ${HOME}/.config/vimb/command &&  \
 > ${HOME}/.config/vimb/cookies.db && > ${HOME}/.config/vimb/history \
 rm -rf ${HOME}/.local/share/webkitgtk/databases/indexeddb/* && \
 rm -rf ${HOME}/.local/share/webkitgtk/localstorage/*
The script is invoked w/ Ctl-Alt-v in openbox.

I don't see as much lag with Debian and wonder if it is related to pledging development.

www/webkitgtk4 has a security update and I submitted a vimb 3.3 -> 3.5 update
which builds easily in 6.6.
