The SVN thread got me thinking that I had remembered seeing Ron post
something about what I thought was an in-kernel LinuxEMU that got a little
better performance on plan 9.

Is this true?  I know the currently LinuxEMU is pretty impressive and can
run a large range of programs (Web browsers even!), but that sometimes the
performance is a little bit less than what might be desired.   I believe
this was due to extra system call overheads for each linux kernel call.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or am I just babbling away here?
