First I wanted to create a queue for tasks; instead of forking
directly only a limited number of processes should be run from the
queue, when one finishes another should start. But I decided not to do
this, because the queue can easily grow to reach the memory limit.
If the queue of processes can grow to any reasonable memory limit (lets
say 100 bytes/entry, 32 Mb memory limit) that means that you've got
320,000 processes to run? If each one takes a minute to run that's 9
months worth of running ... if 1 a second it's almost 4 days... if you
launch PROCESS_MAX processes your system will page and you'll be running
VERY slowly ...
Perhaps it's time to examine the problem and think about a different
solution.
