Live cd's are always going to be slower than actual installs.
What do you mainly use your computer for? All depending on what you want from a computer, determines which operating system is best for you.
Generally speaking OpenBSD is great for people that are looking for: security, clean code, a really great development environment, lack of binary blobs, and great networking tools.
Most other *nix OS's/distro's (BSD & GNU/Linux) area also good at being a development environment - hence why I first seriously started using Linux back in the Redhat 7.2 days after using Solaris for a few months.
FreeBSD is great for performance.
NetBSD is great for running on multiple architectures.
Windows strength is gaming and office products.
OS X's strength is in video editing/graphics.
Pretty much all of the above OS's provide a robust commandline environment with the exception of Windows which is GUI-focused.
