So, we need to find an appropriate technique to do not generate a system overhead of the server.

TODO

• Survey latest papers from the top-tier SE conferences (e.g., ASE, ICSE, FSE)
• Communicate this issue at the popular open-source community

@leemgs Can you please describe the overhead you are talking about? Is it related to the fork done with subshells or just optimization of certain shell-based operations used in TAOS-CI?
