> Yes, it will not offer you the same performance as an in-kernel driver (due to context switches), but given that CPU power always increases, no big problem there. This might be the case if you're running something incredibly easy on I/O like large sequential read/writes, but if you do anything at all challenging on I/O like opening desktop applications (Photoshop, lots of random reads), editing or viewing high bitrate video (very high throughput) or god forbid running a database, this is a huge problem.
