Well, it depends on the application. In the automotive box I've shown
the barebox based boot optimizations for in my ELC-E talk, the task is
to get CAN communication running in < 200 ms. For that kind of
application it's useful to be in userspace as fast as possible, just in
order to have one socket-can application running, and everything else
comes later.
