Seems to me like if you need to do your task inside the kernel to get acceptable performance, there's something wrong with that kernel.

It's also arguably more difficult to do a given task in the kernel than in userland, code for the kernel is much more security-sensitive and even subtle bugs can be detrimental to overall system performance (or even exploitable).

Best thing would be to fix the OS instead of piling up kludges.
