   In my particular tests, processes had a lifetime of less than 10us (i.e.
were forking + exiting at a rate of > 10000/second). This was an app that
creates a process, does a TCP network connect, receives and processes a
packet of data, and sends a response - a typical transaction oriented network
application.
