Nothing beats an 8 year old article for the latest info. OpenBSD now
comes fully optimized out of the box.
Yes, I did notice the age, but that was about all that Google had for me.
"Optimised out of the box" sounds good to me - not having to do anything
is the way I like to work ;-)
You do realise that this means that the installation time of the base
system is now going to be down to about 15 minutes (from over a day) -
what am I going to do with all that spare time?
I've never before had so much of my hardware recognised without extra
effort; it's even recognising my Stallion PCI serial cards - now I just
need to figure what I have to do to get them configured.
Cheers

PS - @Jason - it's unlikely that OpenBSD will seem any less zippy than
the current server - going from an Athlon XP2000 CPU to an Intel Core 2
Duo and from 1Gb RAM to 4Gb RAM should make a little difference...
