And presumably that implies there's OS context switching going on underneath.
Still, I can see a few downsides. Though sqinn-go is pure Go, the forked process is pure C, so you'll need to either download a prebuilt one (Linux and Windows only atm), or build it yourself. This rather defeats the benefits of Go's killer feature of "single-binary distribution".
Still, I agree it's wild it is so fast.
