I thought of that, but there are two problems. The first is an obvious catch-22: If the client can't connect with a process running as root, how can it connect with the root process to tell it needs to spawn a process with its UID?
The second is merely practical. The scheduling server really doesn't do much. It would be a waste to be running 1+n instances of it.
