Another approach is for Hurd to implement interfaces, which will allow

Funny, but it is a common knowledge that M$ apps become usable after their third

Is the situation considerably better in x86-based BSD systems?
Not AFAIK. marginly better I mightsay.

The hurd? (LOL secretely). Well, first of all because it's a true
micro-kernel OS, it may always be slower than Linux or other monolithic
kernel equivalents.
