Whose home are we talking about here? :)

In my home, we type commands like ./configure && make && make install

That sort of thing may launch and kill hundreds of programs in a short 
period of time.

If we save only 1/20 second (say 0.1 sec down to 0.05) per process 
launch, we can save tens of seconds on such a command sequence.

I look forward to testing this.
