Indeed. I saw a talk by Chris about Gazelle, and the numbers put it far behind IE8 in terms of performance (it is based on IE8, so that acts as a lower bound).

Starting from your own core, it might be possible to keep separation of concerns while not sacrificing performance so much. As an example, c.f. L4, which proved that microkernels are not necessarily slow.
