I wonder if anyone has tried to do a performance comparison of running
real-world services (i.e., a mail server with AV and spam filtering) under a
FreeBSD jail, user-mode Linux, and VMware.

So let's say I have a nice server that I use for hosting multiple services.
I can run each service (or client's virtual server) under a FreeBSD jail,
user-mode Linux, or VMware. Which solution gives you the most PERFORMANCE
bang for the hardware buck?

That would be an interesting study.
