Nsl-fork is a major resource hog under some situations, for example on
an overloaded freenet that uses lynx as the main user interface. It's
also a performance problem on OS/2 because fork() is badly emulated by
EMX, but that's a relatively minor concern (I'll just remember to
configure with --disable-nsl-fork when I build binary distributions).
