I haven't really stress tested either of them, but all reports indicate that PF in 4.2 is significantly faster than in earlier versions. The PF in FreeBSD 6 is OpenBSD 3.7-equivalent or thereabouts so moving the config from any recent OpenBSD could mean some pf.conf editing depending on just what features you use. My first choice would be to upgrade to OpenBSD 4.2, but I'm also slightly curious about a direct comparison of FreeBSD vs OpenBSD performance on the same hardware. -- Peter N. M.
