forkproposed
A new box started from a snapshot of another, with the same memory and disk at that moment.
How many forks a task holds
One task holds up to 1,000 forks. A larger --count is an error that says the limit; Vakna never cuts the count for you.
What a fork costs to start
A fork starts from memory, not from a cold boot, so it costs no install and no warm-up. Each fork's start time is on the receipt.
