Making Rust as Fast as Go

Basically yes. ntdll is an implementation detail that shouldn’t be relied upon. kernel32/user32 and friends are considered the “proper” interface to the system and have been stable for decades.

There are some ntdll calls that are officially documented and ok to use. Of course there are also a lot of calls you shouldn't use.

When necessary, it's fine to use even undocumented ones to support Windows 7 and older. It's not like those are going to change anymore.
