Were you using a traditional spinning rust hard drive? OpenBSD is basically unusable without an SSD because of the filesystem they use.

  I'm not overly familiar with OpenBSD (although I do want to try and play with it sometime soon) What filesystem does it use?

    FFS (Fast File System) or FFS2 (Enhanced Fast File System) https://man.openbsd.org/newfs.8#O https://man.openbsd.org/newfs.8#O https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_File_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_File_System

  I think you need to enable Soft Updates: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#SoftUpdates https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#SoftUpdates I don't know why it is not done by default, running without soft updates feels like using a filesystem without a journal.

    Indeed, it was recommended by several people that I add that and noatime. That's active on my mount points.

  There's nothing I want more out of my computing environment than being able to run OpenBSD with ZFS.
