OpenBSD can handle multiple processors.
However, OpenBSD does not use multiple CPUs for multiple threads at the
moment (although that's being worked on). Thus, a processor-intensive
threaded application (like MySQL under some workloads) might not utilize
available resources as well as on Linux.
There are other performance considerations, but they tend to be
relatively minor - for most uses, OpenBSD and Linux perform similarly
enough that performance should not be a reason to choose either. (And
no, OpenBSD isn't always the slowest.)
