while i am far from a kernel guru i can tell you that light 
virtualisation like linux vserver has a very small footprint and so the 
vservers run as fast as on the real hardware. The cost is some % of 
performances and as it use the real kernel network and disk drivers, 
access are not slowed down. This has major advantage in the performance 
part at least. You could read :

to have a better insight on how this work :)
