Last part is wrong since several years. Would be true only after removing the "much" and only for =< Linux 2.4. and possibly very early 2.6

While the kernel limits on that are no longer, it's still one abstraction layer more. Adding layers can't exactly increase speed :)

Ah, thanks, that second link made it clear. Didn't know it could do that ;)
