compared with putting state in the process dictionary.

I thought pd suffers some memory drawbacks?

The advantages are:

1) gc is as good as with any gs;
2) there is some control over what happens with the state after the
main otp process crashes;
3) the "state" gs can be accessed from another process;
4) the state can be moved to another node
