Well if you have the philosophy of 'only do it in the kernel if you *have* to', then there is no reason to put it in the kernel, as has already been proven it is able to be done quite well at user level. >Seems kind of silly to have code at the application >level doing this low level interpretation. From my p.o.v it seems silly to have thi kind of code in the kernel when clearly it can be done just as well at user-level.
