I'm not involved with this project in any way, but I would expect performance to be overall worse with Scala Native. The advantages of Scala native are likely:
1) Much faster startup times
2) smaller memory footprint for small programs.
3) Potential for easier installation since no dependency on the JDK (assuming binaries are statically linked)
So basically you could use scala native to cover some cases that are better covered by golang or rust right now. For large and long-running server-side processes, the JVM is still king.
