I would assume, pedantically I may assume it, that it would be slower then AROS native, not meaning by it that it was slow at all
AROS hosted is certainly slower, but on x86 and by a marginal factor. This is essentially due to the fact that AROS native has virtual memory shut off, which saves about 10% or less of speed. As far as I know (but I might be wrong), you can't shut virtual memory off on the PPC.
What does that mean?
That if AROS isn't hosted it bangs for the metal whereas on hosted it doesn't, or atleast it uses linux ones (it was mainly a reference for using swaps memory from linux). On native the resources needed for Linux are gone and only those of AROS are taking into consideration

But in practical terms, why would that be of your concern? You'll see no disadvantages from that, just advantages.
If it's not the best solution, why develop it at all?
Because the world isn't flat, and if it isn't the best suited tool for one job it might well be for another... take linux, it might not be the best tool for desktop but it is seen as such server wide[/quote]

If it's best suited for some jobs, better know that in advance rather than find it out only when the port is done: it's not like time and efforts come for free.
So, if you have in mind some things for which AROS natively running on the Efika is better than AROS running within Linux on the Efika, just say it? :-)
