I understand. The point I was making was that since it currently does not make 
heavy use of multithreading, any theoretical problems with fork() or the 
posix_spawn() interfaces caused by MT behavior can't be related to any 
performance problems currently seen.

What's needed is a detailed analysis of the overall problem, and not a leap to 
a solution. But if you want to leap anyway, then I agree with Bart: the magic 
of the proposed new syscall needs to be demonstrated with real code, not just 
guessed about.
