Nope, as of now each process has a separate copy, even when they are both on the same node. "The exception is large binary objects, which are handled specially by placing them outside the normal data areas and using reference counting to keep track of them. They are not copied when sent as messages between processes on the same node." http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2006-September/022739.html http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2006-September/...
