Intel with all the melt/spec/leak mitigations, the bare-bones syscall cost went from ~70ns to about ~350ns. It's crazy. I think we lost 10 years of system call performance.

so I really don't get your point

The idea of shared mem protocols is to amortize the cost of syscalls, for example if you have a shared futex then only sometimes you actually have to wait (block) which is a syscall. You go from syscall per unit of work to say ~5 units of work per syscall.
