if they are still hung up on making it a microkernel (which is the reason it has taken so long to bring out, about 20 years and counting so far) then i doubt it will be as fast as linux. I understand the tradeoff between micro and macro (sorry, monolithic, that's correct terminology isn't it?) kernels, but microkernels will only be more efficient if the machine is performing a more limited set of processes as i understand it.
