That's why I said 'something like' it.

It was in your original patch that you did submit, so I figured it would be in 
any further patches.

That's what I said -- ' a separate function in the Channel object should 
handle that'.

Why would it be any slower if it's in a separate C app?  The only difference 
is execing the app after the fork instead of just calling a function, and 
that should be completely negligible since, with the rest of your patch, it'd 
then be done in parallel.
