Uhh, that one is very fair.

Two cross-ring context-switches per byte (!!!), is insanely idiotic at best; any BSCS program worth half its salt will teach you why; and one would certainly hope that a developer of a central/core userspace program would be far more knowledgeable than someone straight out of a BSCS program.

I love how none of the replies rose to the flame bait.

Wow.
