I agree wholeheartedly with the comments made previously by Steve Tibbett.

There is no point becoming fixated on the performance merits of
CreateProcess vs CreateThread until we have a working Win32 port, and the
most direct way to that end is CreateProcess. To wit, any comments I have
made previously on the relative benefits of using CreateProcess vs
CreateThread have been focused on "getting the port done", not "best
performance".

Cheers,
Claudio
