Is it too hard to create a daemon server? Is the communication and context switch slower than a new startup? Is the pattern just not well-enough advertised?

Managing a daemon (including things like stopping it when it's been idle for "too long") is hard to get right, and even more so when it needs to be cross-platform. That's not always a problem, but probably is enough of the time to make "use a daemon" a somewhat specialist solution.
