I'm seeing very slow wireless networking speeds on OpenBSD 6.1 using
the iwm driver.

$ dmesg | grep iwm0
iwm0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265" rev 0x59, msi
iwm0: hw rev 0x210, fw ver 16.242414.0, address 60:57:18:91:f1:86

I struggle to get more than ~30-40kb/s download speed. Running Linux
on the same machine and network I could easily get 1mb/s or more. I've
also noticed the network will appear to hang for seconds at a time,
without pages loading in the browser.

I found some posts on this list from November 2016 which seem to
describe a similar problem with the driver in OpenBSD 6.0, but
according to that the fixes should be available in OpenBSD 6.1.

Wired networking works fine.

Is there anything I can try on OpenBSD 6.1 before having to re-test on -current?

Thanks,

Caolan
