The main issue here is performance. It is 

	fork()

against

	fork()
	exec()
	initialise()

For something that potentially gets hit several times a second it makes a
difference. Note that our server gets hit more often than yours because
we also are the registration database for Europe.

NB: If I remember correctly the code has an option to be run from
inetd(8). So you can do it if you like.
