Spawn is an asynchronous operation. The spawned
process will be put in the scheduler queue while
the spawning process continues.

If you wanted to make the spawned process enter as
quickly as possible, you could do something
like this:

start_child() ->
   Pid = spawn_opt(
           fun() -> ... end,
           [{priority, high}, link]),
   erlang:yield(),
   Pid.
