I agree with other people that processes, at least on Unix
aren't all that expensive.  However, if your processing
involves database lookups, the cost of an open connection into
a DB may also be relevant (depending on your processing
sequence).  If this affects you then consider if any of the
early DB lookups access read-mostly data which could be
periodically dumped to file, or a local CDB, or a local
DNSBL.
