Then you will not be able to interrupt a running job with ^C (M-x slime-interrupt, comint-interrupt-subjob etc.)!

I reported to the slime-devel on 7th of July
Subject: "[slime-devel] Re: It's not just me!"
that Emacs with MS-Windows only manages to interrupt the process given by pid if it started it itself directly (like lisp.exe), not when its start was delegated (via clisp.exe starting lisp.exe).
-- At least with my Emacs-20.7, which is not the most recent one.

UNIX has tail-call optimization -- this is what exec() gives you. Many others systems do not.
