Messages are either one-way (Send or Scalar), or are two-way (BlockingScalar, Lend, or MutableLend). For two-way messages, the calling process inherits the quantum of the sending process, so the only penalty is the cost of two context switches.
> Interprocess communication by memory remapping instead of copying
This is true for Send, Lend, and MutableLend, but for Scalar or BlockingScalar you get 5xusize values instead, which is used for things like `msleep` or `uptime`.
You would have to stop access to other threads that might have access to the page about to be unmapped, but Rust guarantees that if you have a mutable reference, you're the only one with access to the page.
