+See \f[V]-N\f[R], it behaves in the same way except being run before the

+Note that there is a small delay (200 milliseconds) in killing the
+chosen victim to give some room for this program to be spawned and do
+something meaningful.
+The invoked program has to be very fast to gather information from the
+running process before it gets killed.
+.PP
+Any such delay, and the extra resources taken by the spawned process,
+always take some toll and further stress the already stressed system.
+Therefore, the invoked process should be as lean and fast as possible.
