I don't think the embedded folks will be scared by a per-cpu cache, if
it's just one or two entries. And I really do think that even just
one or two entries will indeed catch a lot of the cases.

And yes, fork+execve() is too damn expensive in page table build-up
and tear-down. I'm not sure why bash doesn't do vfork+exec for when it
has to wait for the process anyway, but it doesn't seem to do that.
