exactly, it is not problem of making it slower / faster or which is slower/ faster.

BUT

that we use solutions across multiple problems instead providing solution specifically for that problem. if you have KNOWN vm, on KNOWN hardware then why you need all kinds of hardware and other bull.. initializations, checks.... ? just provide list of things it has to have then after list is run over without problem, continue. also why would amazon/gcp/azure care ? they are making money from you running inefficient solutions....

main point of running unixy stuff is exactly that i can mold my solution to specific problem EASILY. thats why it is so common in embedded market ( routers, kiosks,drones, car infotainment, TV... )
