Thanks for the quick answer !
ad 1) disabled AHCI in BIOS as the only available option
OpenBSD now boots with hdd attached as wd0 device, UDMA mode 6 and
it did a significant improvement - unpacking finishes in about 6 minutes,
but still magnitude worse then in NetBSD.
ad 2) Not slowed down by terminal/console output. Tar command miss `-v'
argument as you may notice from my original post, so no stdout at all.
ad 3) bellow is the output from vmstat, when tested with AHCI disabled (see
par. 1)
interrupt total rate
irq0/clock 58557 750
irq0/ipi 2521 32
irq144/acpi0 16 0
irq96/ppb0 0 0
irq97/inteldrm0 8 0
irq97/ehci0 50 0
irq176/azalia0 1 0
irq98/ppb1 0 0
irq99/ppb2 0 0
irq112/re0 0 0
irq100/ppb3 0 0
irq101/ehci1 69 0
irq102/pciide0 8970 115
irq103/ichiic0 0 0
irq102/pciide1 0 0
irq145/pckbc0 263 3
irq146/pckbc0 140 1
Total 70595 905
irq0/clock interrupts count is constantly increasing during test. Is the
number too high ? Possible issue here ?
ad 4) apm was set to high, CPUs were running at max frequency 2 GHz (shown
by sysctl)
ad 5) partition mounted with rw, softdep and noatime options. I'm reluctant
to turn async option on, as it shouldn't be enabled for normal operation.
Take care.
