It might, in the case where there's a lot of files pending in $LSVROOT/spool.
Remember that 'lcmd' just drops a file into the queue.  A signal (as generated
by kill()) gets delivered essentially immediately (and presumably, the lsv
process has a signal handler that catches TERM and sets a close-up-shop
flag for after the current activity).
