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 :)
