There is the default ruleset that is built into /etc/rc, which is what you get when you boot with either an empty /etc/pf.conf or one that fails syntax check.

Basic benchmarking tends to measure performance with PF enabled and disabled.

From my limited experience I have not seen the number of rules in a ruleset influence performance much if at all. But of course you may be able to generate something enormous enough to actually make an impact there.

All the best,
