Hello.

Can someone please explain where is the error? I am running Python code that
simulates forking a large process and gives poor performance results. Average 4
seconds.

import time
import os
some_str = ' ' * (100 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)
while True:
    p = time.time()
    pid = os.fork()
    tt = time.time() - p
    if pid != 0:
        print("%d "%pid + str(tt) )
        time.sleep(1)
    if pid == 0:
        break
