- roberttod 8y agoI think it'll be hard because they depend on Chromium for performance, which is practically out of their hands and the project is already very streamlined for what it's doing. But Electron comes with a different set of tools i.e. you have the full browser API and renderer at your disposal.
- Klonoar 8y agoActually, earlier today Electron 2.0.0 dropped and includes an `affinity` option, which throws everything under one process. Supposed to help with memory/resource usage.
- roberttod 8y agoWow, nice! Didn't think there was much room to improve given the dependency on Chrome.
