I never used OpenBSD. Why is it incredibly slow?
- daneel_w 2y agoDisk I/O is notably slower than e.g. Linux or Windows and executional performance is generally a tiny bit slower, but nothing about it is "incredibly slow".
- dijit 2y agobrowsers are exceptionally slow in my experience.
- daneel_w 2y agoYou will want to enable GPU-accelerated rendering for Firefox and Chromium to get a smoother experience when scrolling pages and for certain video playback, because that's disabled by default. Besides that they load and parse pages and act on input pretty much as fast as they do on Linux.
- amatecha 2y agowell, SMT/hyper-threading is disabled by default[0] , not sure if there are other reasons though. It's not that bad, but yeah OpenBSD is probably not your optimal gaming OS :P [0] https://www.mail-archive.com/source-changes@openbsd.org/msg99141.html https://www.mail-archive.com/source-changes@openbsd.org/msg9...
- daneel_w 2y agoSMT being disabled is not a reason for anything to be incredibly slow, or even tangibly slower, unless the CPU has a single core.
