This may be true for environments where people mostly run a handful of monolithic applications (*ahem* windows) but look at typical Linuxy things like:
make (compiler, assembler, linker processes...) forking servers (Apache 1.x...) *./configure scripts* (a big one!!!) etc...
Startup cost is likely to be a big factor here...
