And what is exactly wrong with /proc running?

I have had procfs turned off, but our content management
application 
does need to have access to /proc, because in its management
of 
processess (fastcgi app with custom management of cron
processes of its 
own) it have not been able to manage them without it. We
used 
alternative like p5-Proc-ProcessTable, but it did sometimes
render our 
system unusable, userland unresponsive (although kernel was
okey).

Cheers,
Martin
