My point was that it is not that it's low-frequency, it's that 
the OS process creation operation is so expensive, that a few 
memory allocations will not make much of a difference in 
comparison. It's the same as optimizing memory allocations in a 
program which is intrinsically disk- or network-bound.

Well, that's just not very constructive.

Your complaint in valid in general, but I was pointing out that 
it is not much so when specifically aimed at std.process.
