    In the world of WS-BPEL, a transaction can take *days* or *weeks* to

    put aside issue of what sort of underlying protocol is used. In
    these situations, you would want, after a certain amount of time, to
    pickle the tasklets that constitute the process and free up memory.
    When the message comes back in, depickle the tasklets and they will
    resume where they left off.
