Or to put that another way - code specifically crafted for the device from the ground up will (usually) outperform code that is just dragged kicking and screaming onto the platform.

One of many reasons why I like "programming on the bare metal". I have always been a big fan of pushing limited technology much farther and faster than most people believe is even possible. Often, the hardware is capable of far more than the device drivers even attempt to support (due to developmental budget constraints).
