I’d be fascinated to see a comparison with SPDK. That bypasses the kernel’s NVMe / SSD driver and controls the whole device from user space - which is supposed to avoid a lot of copies and overhead.

You might be able to set up SPDK to send data directly into the cpu cache? It’s one of those things I’ve wanted to play with for years but honestly I don’t know enough about it.
