Mold: A Modern Linker
What about posix_spawn() with POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK? That saves some of the overhead. See eg https://github.com/rtomayko/posix-spawn#benchmarks

Troubleshooting weird DB connection errors in Rails with PostgreSQL
They may be caused by a few different factors, e.g. long command run, or long SSH connection, or closed connection in separate thread(like in 'parallel' gem), or long code processing before save.

[Script] How to run two commands in parallel and output in one Stdout?
For parallel computing in Ruby I recommend taking a look at the parallel gem. Just remember that a single Ruby process can't really be parallel because of the "GIL", you would need multiple processes for that :)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing posix-spawn and Parallel you can also consider the following projects:
childprocess - Cross-platform Ruby library for managing child processes.
forkoff - brain-dead simple parallel processing for ruby
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
await_async - Provide await and async methods to Crystal Lang
