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.) Joachim -- TFMotD: umbg (4) - Meinberg Funkuhren USB5131 timedelta sensor
