Not relevant.

Not much. I just did a benchmark looping around a million times.
There was no contention in that case.
Threading state through: 10 msec.
Using a state process that was as lightweight as possible: 1670 msec.
This wasn't native compiled, and it didn't do any real work, so I
don't expect real code to be 167 times slower using a state process.
But I do expect it to be a lot slower.

Faster code means you can afford to run more tests means faster development.
Ceteris paribus.
