It looks fine.  When I started checking today there were a number of
processes running and it took a while for it to clear out but once it
did there was nothing left hanging about.

ExternalProcesses seems to run a lot, is it triggered by commit to trunk
or the like?  Builds less than an hour apart seem a bit over the top to
me.  Is it possible to limit it to no more than once every 6 hours or
something like that?  I ask not because I think it is that important at
this point but because I expect it will become more relevant in the
future.
