I think I'd agree, performance probably isn't the most compelling argument for unikernels, but it seems to be the one that's getting the most attention. Even from the performance perspective, eliminating context switches doesn't even seem like the most interesting aspect. The more interesting thing, at least to me, seems to be that a number of virtual mechanisms are implemented in hardware now, which in theory could allow for orders of magnitude reductions in latency (energy consumption).
