Which 1s overhead?

The overhead between --pure and --container is 0.2s in both cases, which
is linux namespace creation and co.

Thereofore, on my machine, «“containerized hello” starts as fast as
“non-containerized hello”», with a 0.2s overhead.  So I am missing what
you are asking. :-)

I guess, in some case, this overhead is bigger.  That’s why I asked if
you have examples.
