Alpine makes me not totally hate Linux, and musl libc is just great code. Good to see them getting publicity and adoption!

musl is about 2x slower than glibc: http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html . Other libraries are even worse.

Note that comparison is by the musl author, but it's several point releases old for it and glibc.
