It doesn't really matter how the functionality is implemented. You either drag 
the code and functionality along or not. The names and quantity of processes 
your app spawns in order to run is not really user's concern.

It's not the daemon that's the issue. It consumes much less resources than the 
rdf backend which is essential for Nepomuk.

Not sure what you mean.

The daemon is modular already.
