OpenBSD+NetBSD: high key repeat rate, high CPU usage when idle

Both NetBSD and OpenBSD cause me two problems in Parallels:
- key repeat rate is so high that you can't really type anything correctly
- high CPU usage when idle (measured by host as 6% each)

Both are set to "Other" OS in Paralllels. FreeBSD shows neither of these problems (Parallels set to "FreeBSD").

I found a recommendation to do `sysctl -w kern.timecounter.hardware=acpihpet0`. For me, this didn't fix it.

Any recommendation? What to try next?

Also, does anybody know what the actual difference is when setting OS to FreeBSD or Other in Parallels?
 
I have the same problem, tried OpenBSD 7 and 7,1.
I have Parallels Version 17.1.2 (51548), and using a MacBook Pro 16, 2,4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, MacOS Monterey versiion 12.3.1.
In OpenBSD I cannot even install, from the start I have repeated keystrokes. There is no problem in VirtualBox or in VmwareFusion.
The "sysctl -w kern.timecounter.hardware=acpihpet0" I cannot try as I do not have the system installed. I tried also at boot prompt: "set tty fb0", but this is for framebuffer on ARM machines, does not help.
I would appreciate any insights.
 
I'm having the same problem, OpenBSD 7.2.
It is barely usable and impossible to set up a password.
I tried both Keyboard optimized and not optimized for games.
I also would appreciate any help.
