Dear everyone,
With the above disclaimer said, and still knowing the potential for a
war, I must say this: There is not much hope for OpenBSD to ever become
a desktop (or laptop) OS if the nightmarish sluggishness of ALL modern

Have you properly configured your user?
What I usually do is:
1) be sure my user has the "staff" class:
# grep dcoppa /etc/master.passwd
dcoppa:***:1000:1000:staff:0:0:David Coppa:/home/dcoppa:/bin/ksh
2) I have this at the top of my ~/.profile:
---8<---
# bump limits
ulimit -S -d $(ulimit -H -d)
ulimit -S -n $(ulimit -H -n)
ulimit -S -p $(ulimit -H -p)
ulimit -S -s $(ulimit -H -s)

With chromium or iridium it's not as bad as you have described.
Personally I use iridium on a daily basis.
Ciao!

I agree with David. It's manageable. I switched from Firefox to chrome
some time ago, along with otter and Iridium--the three browser
lifestyle. Firefox causes my wife to snarl all too often, so it isn't
the case that FF on Windows is so great.
Gone are the days of a 2G web browsing system, mostly. I have a 32G
thinkpad and make sure limits are ramped up to absurd limits. Is is
slower? Sure, but I'll take that over a faster, diseased system any
time. OpenBSD will improve. Windows will not.
