From the article, Colin Percival on how Linux does as well. Impressive (though would be good to see other benchmarks to corroborate Colin's).

(Which is an HN comment actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37205578.)

I'm sure Colin's results can be reproduced, but it will take some effort. Colin has been doing a lot of work so that Firecracker can boot FreeBSD -- see https://www.daemonology.net/blog/2022-10-18-FreeBSD-Firecrac... for an introduction -- and that is not yet all available in Firecracker "out of the box."
