> kernel operations are faster than userland operations
Call me a pedant but this grinds my gears. The speed my CPU will carry out instructions is not determined by if it's in a kernel or user context. Avoiding making switches between those contexts certainly means less work though.

How do you feel when people say C is faster than bash? The speed your CPU carries out instructions is the same. A bash statement is usually more instructions than a C statement though.
