<interjection>

and it's not like you'll be starting dozens of processes per second. at worst 
it'll be a handful when loading a document or one at a time when adding a new 
contained element.

the problems associated with new process overhead on platforms that suck at it 
are most easily seen in high performance server work loads. if process 
creation at the operating system level becomes our biggest problem, we'll 
have pretty much Made It(tm) ;)

of greater concern will likely be the overhead of loading/linking of necessary 
libraries that comes with a new KDE process, regardless of platform.
