I might be quick on judgement or even mess with thread's topic, but did you reported that problem anywere close to openbsd project lists? SSD is a very used hardware under OpenBSD, it is not so exotic. I think that are developers who can take a look at your problem if you report it. After watching this thread, I enabled softdep on all FFS partitions thinking that Firefox will speed up a bit. I will see the results in time.
