It does work that way. Otherwise, we’d all be running a stripped down Clear Linux kernel, BusyBox, and a few tool chains.

- rhn_mk1 5y agoI'm not sure what point you're trying to make. If performance was strictly dependent on features, as you say, then we would be running an extremely stripped down OS. But it's otherwise, and no one does it, even those who care about performance (removing excessive services notwithstanding).
- runjake 5y agoThe point is people take trade-offs for performance vs. features. Features take up some measurable amount of performance. It's a sliding scale, but everyone sits on that scale nonetheless.

- marcosdumay 5y agoLast time I checked, performance was one of the benefits of the GNU environment over BusyBox. Also, a lot of the features on the Linux kernel are there specifically to improve performance.
