Order of magnitude strikes me as too high if you think about doing it ahead of time and factor it into your design. The harder part would probably be not letting POSIX compatibility cramp your design. For example, the use of fork() is in part an artifact of making a practical system run on very memory limited hardware (like 128KiB max for a program, half code, half data), there's no intrinsic need for it to develop solid software.
