(1) I don't know where I use the word "inefficiently".

(2) to answer the question anyway, the efficiency depends on the difference
between the target platforms.  Wine (windows on FreeBSD/Linux) is gigantic
and noticably slower, but Linux binaries on FreeBSD are next to native. 
(the whole emulation is 60k and can load Linux dynlinker, libraries etc)
