Hi everyone, I wanted to say that as of v0.18.5.0, Monero is running a lot better on OpenBSD. I still have to use --db-sync-mode=fast:async:10000 -- if I don't, once synced the system is incredibly slow.
I also have --in-peers=20 --out-peers=20 set -- I found I had to limit peers in earlier testing, otherwise it would crash. But it's possible that's no longer the case. I wanted to say this in case anyone had given Monero a try under OpenBSD before and found it unusable. It's still not *good*, but it's getting better and maybe worth a second chance. Stopping the daemon does hang the system for about a minute, which is a lot better than it used to be!
