In past few years, I see most visible work on HAMMER filesystem which you shThey released some benchmarks outperforms FreeBSD and NetBSD considerably on multi-core systems.[1]
If you write kernel code, you may like, vkernel, which is full blown kernel that runs on userspace. Speeds up kernel development process.

- farresito 12y agoThank you for your answer. Yes, OpenBSD is definitely about security. I'm also aware of the performance benchmarks. Pretty interesting. The thing is I'm still not completely sure which niche it fills (and I'm pretty sure it fills one). I guess I will have to give them a long try myself and see if I can come with a conclusion.
