not even close to bare metal...
Go runtime, GC, random userspace bits this is on top of

Just quoted the benchmark numbers, that were observed there is no fixed cost ofcourse! Here is the deal, it's not something to impress people (specially THAT guy), but proof of concept that if you know how to implement something a RPi is enough. I also know IRC and XMPP has already done this, and these are the system that inspire modern systems like Slack (for which you will be happy to pay). This project started of for me to put my RPi to use, and you know what it's quite useful so far. So ya nobody needs to be impressed, I am just an engineer building toys to increase my experience.
