Ian,
The lx brand is still under active development. We have been
concentrating on functionality so that we can get as much stuff
running as possible and we have done virtually no performance work
yet. There is a lot of easy stuff to do which will help performance
and you can see the bugs we've already filed for that in the smartos
bug list (https://smartos.org/bugview/index.html). Over time you could
expect to see lx zone performance converging with native zone
performance. In addition, once you start scaling the number of zones
on your box vs. the number of kvms you will quickly see that zones
scale much better. There are other benefits besides performance, such
as the ability to use DTrace against your lx processes, which are also
available now.
I can appreciate the scaling factors, as I said the load on the system
was much less during the LX build.
Now I have a test system up and running, I'm happy to test and report
what I find. I'll gather the data Bryan requested, I'm already part way
through writing some dtrace scripts to gather syscall activity. If
there is anything else I can do to help, please ask.
Cheers,

Ian.
