I installed OpenBSD 5.4 amd64 about 3-4 months ago on new computing node we got at work with 64 cores, 256GB RAM and of course SSD. The disk performance was abysmal. It took literally 5 minutes to move ports tar ball from tmp to /usr. Since the server had to go quickly into production I had no stamina to do anything OpenBSD related so I just put RedHat on it. For the record entire core network infrastructure in my Lab runs OpenBSD.
