Hello, I'm migrating from an old Debian Wheezy 7.11 to OpenBSD 6.3. Although some of the bench numbers in favor of Obsd when I start using the proxy in general I feel more sluggishness (sometimes pages load slower) also elements might not load.

The cpu usage don't go higher even during the tests than 20-30%. As I said caching is turned off so file IO cannot be a bottleneck. Are there any tricks to boost my proxy performance on OpenBSD even more?
