On: exFAT in the Linux kernel

That's correct, my metric for performance is throughput I don't really think a desktop vs a smartphone matters much at this comparison, it's just my observation that when people say a fuse filesystem is slow it's just not well-engineered, not that the fuse API is inherently slow

Run a benchmark that measures more than throughput and you'll see the difference. IOPs are usually poor.

Latency is a nightmare if you perform certain types of tasks on FUSE.

It matters a lot. You can squeeze impressive performance from a smartphone, too, but then you need to dump all that waste heat somewhere, plus you need to take battery capacity into account. In other words, in a desktop, power efficiency is commendable, but not critical.
