Greetings! Just a few other thoughts here to record so that they get handled eventually:
1) returning unreadable objects from the child, e.g. hash tables 2) limiting the number of concurrent jobs in a sane and nested fashion 3) Having the compiler push a no-side-effects property to the function symbol's plist which might result in the automatic insertion of p-let. Consider a little static float statistic per p-let which would empirically measure when the fork was worth it and take action accordingly.
