Actually, hundreds were when I tried to use buffer-local ispell-process
because then ispell-internal-change-dictionary didn't kill ispell-process
but ispell-init-process created new processes.
But with the default configuration there are "only" a dozen of processes.
I guess one process per buffer. And this is even in case when ispell-process
is NOT buffer-local. I noticed that all these processes are created
after loading the desktop buffers.

On every key press was only when trying to use buffer-local ispell-process.
But with the default configuration ispell-process is killed and started
"only" on switching buffers that is very annoying since most of the time
I see these messages in the echo area:
Ispell process killed
Starting new Ispell process /usr/bin/hunspell ...
Ispell process killed
Starting new Ispell process /usr/bin/hunspell ...
Ispell process killed
Starting new Ispell process /usr/bin/hunspell ...
...

The nature of the problem is the inability of ispell.el to maintain
multiple processes with different dictionaries simultaneously
that is required by flyspell-mode.
What is needed here is a hash of processes where the key is
the ispell program name and its dictionary arguments.
