There's a second pitfall, which is critical for my situation:
My goal is to have my program return values from an array. This would
mean, of course, that the program instance never quits.
I've been experimenting with key-values stores on disk as an
alternative, and have the time down to 0.2ms so I may not spend much
time with this array notion going forward.
Still, there may be other cases where using LC as a faceless daemon may
be useful, so hopefully one of us will get some time to explore that one
day.
