Sure, but how does that not utterly destroy performance as the fork would probably lead to multiple sub-forks down the line.. or lane? :)

When you are fuzzing the ultimate goal is to explore as much as you can of the entire search space. Forks cant hurt performance. They are just another potential execution path to be vectorized.
