Since the Xerox PARC workstations and Genera Lisp Machines, all hardware specific instructions for memory management have proven to be worse than doing it eventually in software.

SwiftNIO is not high-speed network driver to start with.

As for memory management impact in overall performance, a similar set of benchmarks would be needed.
