Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the
no longer needed worker processes get killed.
Since a while we change the database with a "test" run, but do not update
the node and symlinks. We need to "force" all the time, to keep things
in sync.
This was needed in the old days, where all the hotplug scripts did
nothing better than sleep for seconds to work around timing issues.
It made sure, that w continued to fork processes, while the machine
was doing nothing than sleeping, but the maximim number of childs
was already reached. This is no longer needed today, we do not run
many of these scripts anymore.
