It's fantastic that you've reduced the startup and memory overhead to the point where it's almost negligible. That's quite an achievement!
One thing that was not discussed is the impact hypervisor-based virtualization has on runtime. I've seen plenty of benchmarks where AWS EC2 instances perform much more poorly than a bare-metal machine with a similar processor. Do you have any idea what the overhead might be for clear containers vs standard linux namespace-based containers?
