Executing a program under QEMU's user mode subjects the entire
program, including all library calls, to translation. It's important
to understand that many of these library functions are optimized
specifically for the guest architecture. Therefore, their
translation might not yield the most efficient execution.

When the semantics of a library function are well defined, we can
capitalize on this by substituting the translated version with a call
to the native equivalent function.

To achieve tangible results, focus should be given to functions such
as memory-related ('mem*') and string-related ('str*') functions.
These subsets of functions often have the most significant effect
on overall performance, making them optimal candidates for
optimization.
