The benchmarks in the gVisor docs above are using ptrace, and they don't look too shabby.

Using redis as an example it's basically half in every benchmark:

IO bound tasks can be up to 10x slower using ptrace. I think using hardware acceleration gives you acceptable performance but ptrace is just a non-starter for prod.
