Matlab running on linux wrapper

2009-07-10 Thread Daniel Underwood
Will binaries running on the linux binaries wrapper run slower due to
having to be run on the linux layer?

It depends. In most cases, it will just run as fine as on Linux,
sometimes it is even faster. The Linux compatibility is no emulation,
it just translates syscalls, so you shouldn't notice a performance-hit
in 99% of cases... but of course there are corner cases where it could
be that the performance of your Linux-binary on FreeBSD is not 100% as
fast as Linux.

See the Handbook for a deeper understanding of how the Linux
compatibility is working :)
