Perhaps now so much in this case... but in a general sence something that
can be done in 1 process is always better than using 2. Other wise you
might find your machine dieing the death of a thousand cuts.
Get a few hundred of these going in some shell script in a cronjob and
you'll be wondering where all your ram and cycles went. "There's nothing
intersting in top..." Then you'll curse a few times at the admin who had
the job before you did.
Sorry.. didn't meant to sound bitter there... ;)
