Meaning either syscalls or vDSO.
As in Linux syscalls do a usermode->Kernelmode->usermode switch, they
introduce a huger overhead.
In Windows I suppose syscalls usually are not done directly by the rtl,
but functions calls to a Kernel dll are done, so that that
Windows.provide dll might decide to stay in usermode if possible.
