I don't use the host system.. I keep a special pristine jail just for that purpose (to act as a source for other jails). sometimes I also use null=mounts, and sometimes if the jails are on one big partition, I hardlink some stuff.. e.g binaries in /bin etc betweem teh jails.. saves memory and disk.. Of course that is only when I basically trust the jail user (me).
