If, by "rendering engine", you mean the full instance of Chromium being run to drive the app... the full instance of Chromium that nothing else on your machine shares... yeah, I guess you could say it's the rendering engine.
- DonnyV 9y agoYou know Electron runs on top of Nodejs. How do you know it's not that?
- zzalpha 9y agoSure, it could also be that! But Chromium is undoubtedly a significant part of the problem.
- sbarre 9y agoI guess I'm wondering about OP's comment and whether a slimmer wrapper would make much of a difference. No doubt a modern browser engine like Chromium is an incredibly complex thing and requires a lot of resources, etc.. Would optimizing the wrapper even very aggressively make any difference?
