Why not making XFrun a daemon?

Hello. I've been using XFCE for a while, and I make a very extensive use 
of XFrun to launch applications. However, whenever I type Alt+F2 it 
takes an annoying 2 seconds for the prompt to show up, and I'm guessing 
the reason is due to the fact XFrun is a single application which is ran 
whenever you use Alt+F2.

Turning it into a daemon would make it faster I think, and since it's 
pretty small I couldn't find a reason for not turning it into a daemon.

So... why not? :)
