If I recall, the mach was about 50% slower than linux, and the new L4 is
about 10% slower and there is a lot of room/ideas for improvement. Also
consider that replacing a kernel and will be much more easier than the
the how to for kernels we face now. I for one wellcome L4.
Unfortunately Gnu has missed on collectivising on the net for manpower
as linux has.
