Oh look, this blog is now running on PHP 7 (under OpenBSD). Apart of OpenBSD-specific mysql socket path, everything seems to be working fine out of box. It seems to be slightly faster as well? Or maybe not, I guess WordPress is just so slow and no amount of speed ups can fix it.

Hopefully OpenBSD 5.9 will have it by default. Still no ports in sight though.
