I'll take a blind stab at this and say that Erlang might actually do more poorly, unless the chip's interchip message passing is taken advantage of by Erlang. If there's a separate piece of hardware taking on the role of being the messenger, having to waste computer cycles to send a message isn't terribly efficient.
