Sounds like running our MD's in kernel mode could provide a considerable
perfromance boost as far as access times go. Although how to actually get
the driver running in kernel mode beats me.

Kernel-mode vs user-mode

Device drivers, particularly on modern Windows platforms, can run in
kernel-mode (Ring 0) or in user-mode (Ring 3).[3] The primary benefit
of running a driver in user mode is improved stability, since a poorly
written user mode device driver cannot crash the system by overwriting
kernel memory.[4] On the other hand, user/kernel-mode transitions
usually impose a considerable performance overhead, thereby
prohibiting user mode-drivers for low latency and high throughput
requirements.
