Great!

I have used chrooted environments quite a lot. Not for security, except for the default chrooted Apache or chrooted BIND.

Instead, I've used them as inexpensive ways to get high-performance virtualization -- via a 100% virtualized filesystem, of course. Unfortunately, imposed limitations on chroot for security, such as mknod(2) restrictions, can render chrooted environments unworkable for any number of applications.
