raitobezarius | The wiki may talk about it around the concept of "zygote" | 21:01:10 |
raitobezarius | I think looking at docs on Android zygote might be the more efficient way to learn about the problem space | 21:01:46 |

raitobezarius | https://source.android.com/docs/core/runtime/zygote | 22:41:52 |
raitobezarius | i figured out another piece of docs to explain the problem than the obscure piece of docs of zygote of Android | 23:51:28 |

raitobezarius | (the path is being slowly opened by the recent chains on reworking libexec helpers in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/4994) | 23:51:56 |
raitobezarius | the important piece is | 23:52:42 |

given that before COW fork() was too slow as the kernel had to copy the parent's context.
