"The fact that nobody uses it is not evidence that is not good"
absolutely, I agree with you there.
What I was describing was a very real limitation on hte micro-kernel architecture. Maybe someone will figure out a solution but in the absence of a solution the micro-kernel architecture is hopelessly inefficient for computers that are expected to run a variety of applications and processes.
There are problems with a macro-kernel too, of course. I don't know specifically what you are referring to but the architecture works so it is the best solution for now.
