loading time and memory consumption in child_process fork vs spawn

[Vinay Ram]

I am trying to spawn several node processes using child_process module. 

In terms of loading time and memory usage is there any difference between child_process.fork and child_process.spawn (with detached true) ?

Not really.

I think I've spotted a small memory leak when using spawn
