OS question

If we assume that process address spaces are initialized copy-on-write from their parent process, and that a child process is likely to call the exec system call immediately after it starts execution. Would it be better to schedule the parent or the child process first immediately following a process fork system call?

wrong forum. try something specific to the technology you're working in. if this is a take home test question for class, report yourself to your professor for being lazy and unspecific.

Is it better to cook pancakes or fried eggs first, given that eating with a fork will need to be split between egg yolk and syrup, making the taste a bit off?

I'm sure you can't make this stuff up...
