Do you know that there is actually a name for the logical fallacy behind this sort of argument?
But please, enlighten me, what precisely about having once wrote some file system code for Linux qualifies one as an expert on the topic of the relative difficulty of optimizing C and C++ as used in kernel development?
What is it about this group that some of its members so quickly close ranks around the secret handshake when they don't have an actual response to a technical point? And what are you going to say instead when I finally do get around to contributing code to Linux and I still point out bogosities when they come up?

the pragmatic and subjective part. Jeff wrote some cool nwfs code for Linux which is publically available and what useful kernel code for Linux did you write and where can I download it? Therefore, for this very simple subjective and pragmatic reason, Jeff (in my eyes) is right and you are wrong :)
Send patches, not "clever thoughts", clever thoughts are cheap and useless and can remain confined to the "comp. science departments of certain universities" for all I care...
