That particular change improves throughput received locally. Though over the past few years there's been a ton of work on unlocking the network layer generally to support more parallelism. For a firewall I guess the critical question is the degree of parallelism supported by OpenBSD's PF stack, especially as it relates to common features like connection statefulness, NAT, etc.
