I need to correct myself here. The naive estimate is misleading: I took some time today to clone both repositories in full and found that a full checkout of openbsd/src weights in at 953 MiB, and linux.git at 1.1 GiB (obtained by running du -sh on the .git directory). So the difference isn't as overwhelming as just counting objects would suggest. (Surprising to see that the average OpenBSD Git object is almost thrice the size of a Linux one, though.)
