No, it won't. Normal system calls stay in the same process context and can be run without a context switch. Your scheme requires a context switch and a (complex) lookup and pinning of user pages in a different process. That is pretty much guaranteed to be slower. -- Politics is the struggle between those who want to make their country the best in the world, and those who believe it already is.
