OpenBSD runs hotter than Linux with same laptop, draws more electricity?

I just wonder why OpenBSD requires more CPU load for the same kind of activity (web browsing), and also appears to draw more electricity from the power supply when measured, compared to Linux, when using the same laptop?

Perhaps more Assembly instructions to complete the same task? But why? Memory protection kinds of checks?

Note this is also when using the integrated (Intel) GPU.
