A Couple of BSD VPS Questions (FreeBSD, OpenBSD)

@AnthonySmith said in another thread:
As it is simple to find a good 512mb deal it kind of makes this thread redundant so I have span one up myself on IH infrastructure but because I hate things being easy I am doing it on FreeBSD instead.

Love this, "I hate things being easy" ...
Speaking of FreeBSD. I recently spun up both a FreeBSD and a OpenBSD node.

After my first purpose is accomplished, my curiosity will have me test other stuff as well. Wondering:

What kinda benchmark script/tool would you guys run on BSD? (yabs.sh by @Mason looks kinda Linux specific)
Of the many available httpd's available, which ones of these should I give a shot? OpenBSD's own/default (ob)httpd, (s)thttpd? Others?

Web server performance

Was just searching for updated benchmarks and performance comparisons for webservers like nginx, h2o, Lighty, LiteSpeed and Caddy 2, but most hits I found was outdated or seemed to be wrong ...

Like this can't be the full/correct picture?

One thing for testing would be serving static files and php etc.
The other would be reverse proxy performance.
Anyone know of better tests?
(My use case is Lowend VPS'es serving low traffic sites. I can use either of these and be happy, I guess, just curious. I've been using them all, except h2o ...)
