daemon

I noticed that serveral daemon invoked python seperately.
For example, I have both wicd and ibus daemon running on my machine. Instead of launching a single instance of python, the daemons run with two python instance at the same time in htop:

/usr/bin/python2 -O /usr/share/wicd/daemon/monitor.py
python2 /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py

Is it a waste of doing that?
If yes, how can I improve this?
If no, why avoid putting all daemons run on a single python instance?
