Thanks, BrowserUK, cool article.

I did have ProcessExplorer running, and saw that it was a new thread and not a new process instance. So it sounds like third and fourth arguments of times() are going to stay zero. Looking at memory utilization, I can see that the system is starting to get a bit pokey, but the good news is that the working set is only about two thirds of the peak working set, so it seems my objective was successful. So its not "memory management by forking" but "memory management by plucking threads". A richer image, I think.
