Whats OpenBSD's reason for having such a low value? I can set my 
linux/qmail server to 500

ressource limits are a very important security thingy.

Why doesn't it make any sense in most cases ?

because higher concurrency _slows down_ deliveries in most cases. more than
100 .. 200 doesn't make sense usually. And even these values only make sense
with well connected servers, meaning available upstream bandwidth 4 MBit/s
or more.
see also http://www.lamer.de/maex/creative/software/qmail/deliveries/ and
this lists archives for explanations and analysis.
