A slightly better heuristic would be for us to keep launching child processes while we believe we have enough memory and free cores for doing so.

The question that this bug is really asking, is how to get the idea of "free memory" from Mac OS X, which it turns out is neigh impossible. :)

But checking to see if we have enough memory before we launch each child woudl be more robust than the current solution which checks up-front, and guesses how many max children it should use based on that number.
