Performance of what? Building an image?

Runtime performance. Musl has different performance characteristics to glibc (glibc uses thread-local pools for malloc, while musl uses locks).
> Starting with 1.1.9, musl’s dlerror state is thread-local and now matches the glibc behavior.

dlerror is entirely irrelevant here.
In terms of what? Performance? Musl is more correct. Most people aren't serving Google or Facebook levels of requests. My only issue is with people choosing software purely based on performance.
No, it's just that dlerror and malloc are two different functions.
I think that's self-evident, thank you.
