New description:

 Currently fog launches a new child process for each PT that is needed.

 It would be more efficient to re-use a PT that was already launched by Tor
 (e.g. to use for a normal non-chained singleton PT), but all the ways of
 doing this I can think of are quite messy.

 So we may never actually want to implement this ticket, but I am making it
 to record the issue.
