You do the work in the kernel, or you do the work outside of

But lots of embedded applications don't need, e.g., a file system.
All they need is device drivers, a scheduler, and some sort of messaging
system. (e.g. Traditional kernel functions).
Traditional monolithic kernel operating systems can be
built to include as much, or as little of these traditional
kernel functions as you want.
Size is not a factor in making the decision over whether
you want/need a message passing microkernel, or a monolithic
kernel.
