Indeed, I meant performance compared to a real USB device being connected to a real controller, not as a substitute to the loop driver of course :) It is true that my motivation behind this work is to make dummy_hcd more useful to host/gadget driver authors, not to replace other facilities :) I will update the description of the series to be more clear.
