I don't remember the conclusions from last time we discussed this,
but was there are reason why posix_spawn(2) was also not under
consideration for this? Clearly it's the inheritor of vfork()'s
mantle, but there may be a reason why you are unable to use it on
MacOSX that I'm forgetting.
For production use: backwards compatibility (both regarding
posix_spawn itself, and the dynamic linker functionality required to
test at run time whether or not it's available).
For testing purposes: I simply didn't get around yet to rewriting our
"execute process" wrappers to run on top of posix_spawn. I'll post
those benchmarks as well once I get around to doing that.
