I hope others pipe in with their views but the general answer is that
they all are built using the same handlers in the "super core" of RTEMS
so the performance varies only by the amount of information and
power of the manager.

For example, using 0 length messages is comparable in performance
to a counting semaphore.  But sending a 1K message is going to be
a lot more.

The key is that each has a different focus on the balance between
communication and synchronization.
