Oh hey it looks like… I already did this and it already got reviewed and already got approved and is waiting to get merged: https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1675

but it predated the review robot so it fell through the cracks.

Looks like I'll land this as soon as tests can pass :)

I am writing some code that was spawning a lot of processes with spawnProcess, and it was going a bit slower than I expected; it was taking about 51 seconds on my M1 Max mac.  So I hopped over to my local copy of Twisted and applied this patch:

This is obviously not a complete reimplementation and might have some slight performance advantage due to its incompleteness, but the task in question then took 16 seconds; i.e. a 319% speedup.

Anyone want to do this implementation for real?  Or want to commit to a review, if I did it?
