4 # This allows vfork to be used for spawning subprocesses if
5 # ~/.cache/public-inbox/inline-c is writable or if PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY
6 # is explicitly defined in the environment (and writable).
7 # Under Linux, vfork can make a big difference in spawning performance
8 # as process size increases (fork still needs to mark pages for CoW use).
9 # Currently, we only use this for code intended for long running
10 # daemons (inside the PSGI code (-httpd) and -nntpd). The short-lived
11 # scripts (-mda, -index, -learn, -init) either use IPC::run or standard
14 # There'll probably be more OS-level C stuff here, down the line.
15 # We don't want too many DSOs: https://udrepper.livejournal.com/8790.html
