I had already concluded that this would not be useful for the use cases I have 
at work.
The running out of memory and the hard crash is what would stop me using this 
in production.

For my day job I work on a service that forks slave processes to handle I/O 
transactions.
There is a monitor process that manages the total memory of all slaves and 
shutdown and replaces
slaves when they use too much memory. Typically there are 60 to 100 slaves with 
a core each to play with.
The service runs 24x365.
