No.

If your friend prefer Linux then fine, but his speed statement is wrong. 
(unless he'd misconfigured something due to a lack of knowlegde on 
OpenBSD .. or pf .. or squid .. or run unsupported hw .. or ..)

BTW Edy, statements (in particular 
tux_userland_mock-up_no_79_glued_on_kernel_no_61_aka_slashdotoftheweek 
[heck, it even got its own place on securityfocus.com] vs. OpenBSD) 
without  anything but the statement, is useless in any respect. In fact 
it appear borderline trollish.

If this friend of yours have a problem with a OpenBSD installation, then 
tell him to address this list and he will get all the help he need.
