OpenSUSE will almost certainly feel slower and heavier than Arch on any given hardware. Zypper is way way way slower than pacman, more stuff is installed out of the box, and at least personally I see a lot of slowdowns due to BTRFS doing various maintenance. There are a lot of great reasons to use OpenSUSE, I've been using Tumbleweed on my desktop for years, but this is not one of them.

    When installing openSUSE you can click the software packages hyperlink before accepting the install overview, and it brings you to the package list so you can remove patterns, or go detailed view and deslesect all and then select individual packages. You don't have to accept their default that it presents.
