[erlang-questions] Process overhead

[Christian]

You can improve on solution 1 by using the
{next_state,NextStateName,NewStateData,hibernate} form of return from
the State-callbacks. The gen-behaviors will then backend in this
feature:

But you have not mentioned having a problem with the memory usage, so
I wonder if this is a real problem you have (and are trying to find a
solution for)?

You know... benchmarks benchmarks benchmarks...
