"on the plus side, each renderer process is smaller, shorter-lived, and has less contention internally, but there is about a 10-13% total memory overhead in real workloads due to the larger number of processes"
- bilbo0s 8y agoThat doesn't even really tell us much. We need more information. For instance, it would be enlightening to have an understanding of how, exactly, a "real workload" is defined? How many tabs? What's going on in the tabs? Etc. A definition of "real workload" would at least allow us to compare that workload to our own typical workloads. (Which I assume would likely be different for an administrative assistant vs an executive vs a developer vs a researcher vs etc etc etc.)
