What OS are you on and how are you running the parent and child processes? In Windows when running via console or startup script with lots of things written to the console I've noticed that the OS starts to slow down on console writes and tends to each tons of memory when under high utilization. In Linux (or if I redirect the output of the console in Windows) I haven't seen any issue.
