Usually people use worker pools so they don't spawn up a new process per request. The moving of heavy computation to other processes has various advantages and pitfalls ( computation crash for w/e reason can be dealth with, but data must be sent via IPC usually, etc ).
I would spawn up a ton of worker processes at the start of your app and if you need more spawn more as a flexible pool. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
