It's not mainly about memory. Memory is handled quite effieciently, cause
only writable pages have to be copied (on 'write-deman' only), and others
are shared, which actually is not unefficient. There is some overhead with
the fork, but this implies to _very_ heavy loads (local intranet I'd say -
if it's dynamic content, the load comes from other tasks, and thus doesn't
create that many instances) So from the memory point of view, it's not
that bad. (IMHO)
