This is an amazingly unreasonable comment.
First off ALL distributed file systems are slower than non-distributed 
file systems.
Second ALL network file systems are slower than local hardware.

Kernel inclusion does not make for a radically faster implementation.
I have worked with Kernel included NFS and user space NFS 
implementations and the performance differences have not been all that 
amazingly radical.

If your so convinced that a kernel included file system is the answer 
you are free to implement a solution.
I am sure the project maintainers would love to have someone come along 
and improve the code.
