In which case people aren't implementing their kernel drivers correctly.
The kernel is supposed to produce a stream of samples when the pen is
touched, and those samples should be delivered to tslib.  tslib's filters
then has the responsibility to read groups of samples, and filter them
using whatever method that the user wants.

I also don't buy your comparison on your web page since there's almost
zero details of what you're comparing.  You don't give details of what
filters you're using with the userspace method - for all the reader
knows, you're not using tslib at all.

I'm the original author of tslib.  Don't think for a moment that I haven't
any experience in this area.
