Erm, the vfork manpage comment "It is rather unfortunate that Linux revived this spectre from the past." isn't very motivating for application developers to use vfork..
I think that the API is faulty here: whether it is forking or sending a message, the application developers know if they would prefer scheduling immediately the child/target process or not, so the API should allow the developer to say what he prefers instead of relying on one global default.
