Last time I looked at the state of ChorusOS (admittedly a few years back when it was still closed-source and owned by Sun), POSIX was still kind of add-on to the system (and with surprising omissions). To get access to better performance and all features of the system, you had to use the native non-POSIX API. On the other hand, ChorusOS is modular and you can configure variants for both large and small applications, like use or omit memory management as needed.
