[sir_richard] 45271: [PERF]: What to do when your SYSEXIT code has a bug? Set KiFastSystemCallDisable to TRUE so it never gets used. Now, for the first time in 3 years and 3 months (not giving a specific revision # to protect the 'innocent'), ReactOS actually fully uses the SYSENTER/SYSEXIT instructions isntead of IRETD, since my code doesn't exhibit the bug and SYSEXIT is safe to use. This should save a good hundred cycles or more per system call.
