Fil-C running on any x86 box is faster than any CHERI implementation that has ever existed.
That's likely to be true in embedded also, just because of the relationship between volume and performance in silicon. Fil-C runs on the high volume stuff, so it'll get better perf.
CHERI doubles the size of pointers, so it's not like it has a decisive advantage over Fil-C.

Heh. I don't doubt it. Just like RISC-V in QEmu on a x86 box is faster than any RISC-V core that anyone can get their hands on ... but only so far.
