I'm not understanding how the kernel will allow faster access to certain
functions...what do you mean? How do you make the 'applications do
everything themselves'? What functions in the kernel need to be called which
if not done from the program code will dissallow it from being used by the
ti???
Also, what is the deal with the nostub (and what exactly is stub :)???
