The standard recommendation for openbsd is to install the stock kernel. For
the applications you've described, the standard recommendation is also to
use packages or ports.

Think of OpenBSD as an appliance, and you're good to go.

As a FYI - OpenBSD concentrates on correctness over optimization, and for
most people, the defaults suffice. If you are one of those who need to eke
out that last extra connection for your lamp, be prepared to roll your
sleeves up and work on the source code yourself. Otherwise, you will be
told - use defaults.
