The OpenBSD devs don't have time to do benchmarking, and always appreciate proper benchmarking comparisons. For your networking tests, please don't do any tests that involve disk writes. Disk speed is where you may have issues, as most disk operations/drivers are not multithreaded and/or kernel biglocked still. For example, when using identical hardware (an old core 2 duo Dell workstation), I can read from my Samsung 860 SSD at ~325MB/s on CentOS. On OpenBSD, I get more like ~130MB/s. if you want to test ssh/scp speed, make sure you write/output all ssh/scp data transfers to /dev/null. What sort of data pipe are you working with? I have found myself able to saturate a gigabit line fairly easily over ssh using modest hardware. Please reply back with some proper benchmarks as I'm sure many of us would love to take a look.

Re: Coming from FreeBSD, lower networking performance
Hello Sijmen, this is not something I remember seeing often on the list; to improve your chances of replies beyond "use iperf to test" (there's tcpbench(1) in base) you should at least provide a dmesg(8). Maybe even use sendbug(1) and have the report go to bugs@ [1]. Could you run -current [2] to see if the problem is still there?

Re: Employers, Jobs and OpenBSD
I was extremely lucky 2 jobs ago to have an employer who requires only that I be able to SSH, and be able to work remotely across continents. So I made OpenBSD my workstation.

Re: Employers, Jobs and OpenBSD
I have managed to make a decent living for myself as a consultant who works primarily on OpenBSD. When I am hiring/evaluating applicants, having OpenBSD experience on their resume shows me that they don't fuck around and indicates that they are passionate about Unix and have a personal drive to better themselves and acquire knowledge. Folks who are familiar and comfortable with OpenBSD tend to be the types who are able to seek and acquire knowledge quickly and effectively while at the same time being able to think critically and objectively. In situations/jobs that don't explicitly _require_ OpenBSD, I often find a way to make OpenBSD a part of the job, as most people hiring a consultant don't actually know what they need-- that's why they hire me!. If you are "learning" OpenBSD with the sole goal of getting a cushy job, you're gonna have a bad time. If you are learning OpenBSD for the sake of learning OpenBSD, and because you are passionate and want to understanding how a sane, logical operating system is put together, then you will be giving yourself a gift that will keep on giving. The moral of the story is, the Dunning-Kreuger effect is extremely prevalent in the IT world, and most of these wannabe tough guy "enterprise" fags don't even know, what they don't know. The IT world is full of dipshits who don't understand what's important. Most every OpenBSD aficionado I have met has been humble and compassionate, as for the most part, they realize that they know just enough to know that they know nothing. -- Just my 2 cents.

Re: Coming from FreeBSD, lower networking performance
Have you looked into IPerf? https://iperf.fr/ This is what I typically use for testing network throughput. Downloading a file is a bit more complex and involves things like the source server/latency/etc. as well as disk performance. (I know a 100MB file isnt much but still...) IPerf has a lot of knobs to tweak, like number of threads, TCP window size, etc. You will need 2 hosts, one to act as server and one as client. I recommend the latest stable version of iperf3, which is available as a package: $ doas pkg_add iperf3 Hope this helps. On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 7:20 PM, Sijmen J.

Coming from FreeBSD, lower networking performance
Hi all, After migrating a VPS from FreeBSD to OpenBSD I noticed reduced networking performance. Both incoming and outgoing traffic seems to be 2-3 times slower on average. By testing 100MB file transfers I've mostly eliminated the following factors: - Protocol and ciphers (tested SCP, SFTP, FTP+TLS, HTTP, HTTPS) - Client software - Peer host - VM provider/platform The easiest way to show and test this difference is as such: 1. Install either FreeBSD 11.2 or OpenBSD 6.3 on a machine or VM 2. Install curl, then `time curl -O http://download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip` On both my VPS provider and my own PC with VirtualBox VMs the difference is about 3x for the above test. Similar results happen when scp-ing a file to the machine. Any ideas on the cause of this? Any additional tests or tweaks I could try? Sijmen

This is a big change from base nvi which merely visually escapes non-ASCII characters. In the past nvi2 has also had some pretty severe bugs including frequent crashes and irreversible file truncation on :w which makes me wary of bringing it in. UTF-8 in OpenBSD's base vi is definitely a desired feature. The primary blocker to implementing it is simply that nobody has done the work.

Even on RHEL which is the most widely used OS for scientific computing Julia has to be compiled from the source. What are you trying to do with Julia?

The OP was about T40 though, which is much older. Any problems there (excepting hardware) are less likely to be related to problems seen on newer machines.

But you need something like: xset s off Hey Edgar, Thanks for help! 'xset s off && xset -dpms' seemed to do the trick. I popped it into my ~/.profile and am now off to the races! Cheers, Jordan
