The idea is cool, but with some restrictions, I like free software because it 
is free :) what about a free world with only a single answer ? 
Until now Kernel people reject the idea to used kernel space for decompression 
colors space decoding and so on. As i am a free man, i want to used kernel 
space for my needed and no-one should constrain me with rule i did not agree. 
My Linux box is set for Video, and the" Moore" law allow me to expect good 
performance  :)  Did you think my Dual core Athlon 3800+ suffer for doing 
some bytes arrangements, look like a "prehistoric" debat :)
