Have you got some figures to back that up? Everybody's saying OpenBSD's pf performance is superior, yet nobody has posted some proof.
Not sure myself, keep in mind that there are (at least) two different ways to measure firewall performance - connections/second and throughput. There was a url someone posted a few days ago going in depth into tuning of OpenBSD for max performance and mentioned 930Mbit of throughput on a single gigE link.
Some months ago there was discussions about 10 gbit performance with Linux. Some guys were pushing over 70 Gbit/sec through a single linux box.
Not sure if firewalling was enabled.. most probably not.
