>If you have a non trivial application, multiprocessing just takes a lot of memory. Every child process that you create duplicates the parent memory.
Not really, unless you want to alter it. The OS uses copy on write behind the scenes for forked processes, so will use the same memory locations already loaded until/if you modify that. So parent memory isn't really duplicated.
As for any new memory allocated by each child process, that's its own.
