Yes, I think the VM overhead wouldn't be as big a deal as the programs themselves though. People would have to realize that applications are "heavyweight." Not sure if HAL would introduce security issues, the VM is to keep things as secure as possible.

HALs will always introduce security issues. I believe Microsoft Research has been working on that particular problem with Singularity, it would pay to take a look at what they did there.
