Also relevant, regarding the Linux native performance: https://mobile.twitter.com/RichFelker/status/602313979894038... "Rich Felker, May 24, 2015:
Some interesting preliminary timing of
@musllibc
's posix_spawn vs fork+exec shows it ~25x faster for large parent processes. (~360us vs 9ms). #glibc has a vfork-based posix_spawn but it's only usable for trivial cases; others use fork.
@musllibc
posix_spawn always uses CLONE_VM. This also means
@musllibc
posix_spawn will fill the fork gap on NOMMU systems cleanly/safely (unlike vfork) once we get NOMMU working." Also evilotto's post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19622477 "a 100mb process generally takes >2ms to fork, while a 1mb or less process takes 70us" |
