no comparison, was running 3.7 on a sparcstation 5 for mail and 3.9 on a
sparcstation 20 for router, so changed hardware as well as the new release
of OpenBSD.  next is upgrading another mail machine from a sparcstation 2
to a Netra, and that should make a big difference, as it has about 100 
users.  what i'm most impressed on mail is spamd, (the spamd which is 
OpenBSD greylisting and not the spamd helper for spamassassin).
