For now I did the second part.  There's a small slowdown on GNU/Linux (because posix_spawn performs a few additional safety checks), and a large speedup on macOS, see the attached plot.

Forgive me if I'm out of context, but the commit message mentions being able to use "system-specific enhancements like 'clone' on Linux", and yet here in this table we get some slowdown on Linux.

Are those enhancements still to be added, or is the difference considered minor enough not to bother?
