Kernel-bound applications?

Hi,

I am trying to write a list of common applications that are performance-bound
by the kernel. Note that this is distinct from applications that are bound by
the _hardware_ (e.g. standard Ethernet cannot be made to transfer data faster
than 10 Mbps), including the CPU (e.g. floating point code).

I would appreciate input from people on the list who have more experience than
I do in this area. Also pointing me to the relevant parts of the kernel code
for specific applications bottlenecks would be enormously appreciated.

Thank in advance,
