AFAIK, in early days of unix there were no threads, processes 
were single-threaded, fork was the way to concurrency and exec 
was the most efficient way to run a program in memory-constrained 
conditions of 70s (kbytes of RAM!). Plain unix-like 
single-threaded processes, plain C heap, which didn't serialize 
access, because no threads, and worked fine with just virtual 
memory, which fork got right. That's the model, which should work 
the best with fork+exec.
