different node processes start up differently, some can take a while. auto-quit after 5 minutes, really? socket activation is helpful for lazily loading things when a system boots up, so everything can be started in parallel and the order that processes come online doesnt matter. its been adapted to all kinds of things and im not saying it wouldnt work in some use cases to conserve resources, but socket activation + auto quit is a bit odd. node actually benefits from running for a long time or from being hit with a lot of requests -- even if your app starts fast you are trading this away among many other things...
