AFAIK it's not a microkernel, so how it performs doesn't really matter.

Last I heard, MacOSix was made out of a Mach microkernel running a FreeBSD-based personality as a process under the Mach microkernel.

It started as a microkernel, but ended up pretty much like NT with lots of stuff inside the kernel (filesystems, graphics, network, etc.)
