I was asked these questions this evening, and don't know the answers.

How much of a speed penalty, if any, is incurred for using Linux emulation
under FreeBSD compared to running a natively compiled version of the same
program (or, for that matter, running the Linux program under Linux)? How
"thin" is the Linux emulation layer? What calls can be expected to incur a
substantial penalty due to translation of data structures, emulation of
system facilities, etc.?
