No, I'm talking about a clipboard daemon that holds the data on 
*application exit*. This hasn't been suggested by anyone.

The daemon doesn't have any logic, you just send data to it when the app 
exits, and it'll keep the data in memory, that's it. If you use shared 
memory, no data is actually copied, thus no performance problems.
Basically it's functionally the same as keeping the app running, except 
that the data is now stored by a daemon instead of the app itself, which 
means you won't have to worry about buggy apps.
