Here’s the boring, real answer, though:

– Performance should be better, as DragonFly has generally fantastic network performance in general, and having pf in parallel should make it able to deal with larger workloads.

– This is a significant change for pf, so there may be surprises lurking that nobody’s found yet. Remember this is barely 24 hours old.

– If what you want to do with pf relies on some feature found only in OpenBSD’s version, for instance, it doesn’t matter how much faster this is – “better” is a measure of how well something meets your needs, not _necessarily_ the packets per second it can process.

– Actual benchmarks and testing will answer the question best.
