I haven't noticed performance degradation, but my jails aren't doing much.

There are several providers selling jail-based virtual servers.

I didn't consult the source, but my understanding is that a jail marks
individual processes, so, e.g., if a jail runs just one process, that's the
(operational, I don't know about startup) overhead for that jail.
