Ok, well I guess that primarily is an issue for validation errors 
where you need to return detailed error reporting. "Not Found" 
etc can be preallocated as immutable, or?

That sounds pretty good, was that as localhost, or over a network?

You could synchronize them by calling the GC explicitly N seconds 
after the other process GC or you if you use a load balancer, 
maybe the GC could be scheduled by the load balancer or notify 
the load balancer (assuming all requests are short-lived).

This won't work for a simulation type server though. (which is 
what I am most interested in)
