One thing I forgot to mention when I brought this up is how fast threading in the JVM might be in a unikernel. Because the JVM/Karaf is running in a single process in the kernel, thread switching would not involve the laborious user mode to kernel mode switches that current thread switching does.
So not only would this eliminate the overhead of virtual machine, operating system, and Docker, it would make the JVM's threading operate faster. So even if the unikernel isn't the most performant right out of the box, it gets some big boosts and over time one would expect it to get even better. That's why I thought I'd ask if anyone here has been working with it as I suspect in two or three years they will take the world by storm. -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
