I was referring to application startup which is an issue for snap & flatpak. I'd like to know how it (Nix + sandboxing solution like bubblewrap) compares to flatpak.
Nix doesn’t sandbox applications, it is basically only patches the ELF header so that it links to nix store entries instead of /usr/lib when it comes to shared libs.
So While I don’t have benchmarks, it is basically in the same ballpark as Arch programs.
