Does the shell launch seperate child processes for pipe?

The answer is:  Yes, the shell may (depending on the
function/command/program called) launch a child for each side of the
pipe.  This can give you higher parallelism AND you can easily run into
the issues around process launches being 'more expensive' on MPE than
U*X.   Don't use the pipe just for parallelism for 'short' duration
programs or you'll pay a higher price in process launch overhead then
you'd ever gain in 'keeping both CPU's busy'.

Fishin' lessons:
:setvar hpshelldb=2
:sh << assuming HPPXUDC.pub.sys is set >>
