I don't think that is correct. The extent to which Electron uses resources today is as if you install five copies of Node.js and five copies of Chrome and launch them all. A common runtime would be as if you ran five Node.js apps using the same runtime and opened five tabs in a single instance of Chrome. I'm not super well versed on the low level implications there, but I find it hard to believe that wouldn't save a lot of resources. I mean, do .NET apps load up a full copy of .NET and all its libraries into memory for each app you open?

Definitely, if the apps use different versions of the .NET runtime.

  Yes, and that would be the case with Electron too, but in the case where n apps share the same version of the runtime, I assume it saves a lot of resources?
