musl is also sometimes much slower than glib, for example with some scripting languages. Even when your workload is compatible it's usually a good idea to use another distro in your docker container. When performance doesn't matter I think it's great though.

We have started to extend musl with optimized routines like glibc does. But really, the performance difference is usually minimal.

  Is this something that you are planning to upstream? Or will it be local to Alpine?
