Indeed, being worked on with rthreads.

There's slow progress to push back the kernel biglock.

Very few people have a justifyable need for a synchronous cache between read()/write() and mmap().

Is available in -current, not sure about this release.

OpenBSD is doing quite well compared to the other BSDs. Intel and Amd graphic options are supported, depending on chipset, OpenGL works out of the box. KMS is being worked on from what I hear.

Nvidia and Adobe, well... they are a cancer and in a perfect world, would go bankrupt for their behaviour.

There is no current TRIM support I'm aware of, but it could possibly ship in 5.1. Or 6.1. Who knows.
