Nope. System calls aren't slow. What crappy OS are you running?
But they're slower because there're some instances checking them.
I hope my idea/opinion is clear now.
Numbers talk. I've got something that you can test ;)
This doesn't mean it's better just because you had the time develope it
;). But anyhow the folk needs something, they can test to see if it's
good or not, most don't believe in concepts.

We will see which solutions wins the "race". But I think you're
solutions will "win", because you're Linus Torvalds -- the "Boss" of
Linux and have to work with this system very day (usualy people are
using what they have developed :)) -- and I have not the time develop a
database based solution (maybe someone else is interested in developing it).
