I can see that it increases disk space, but everything on top of that is questionable. I believe DLLs will share/reuse memory pages even if they were downloaded in separate bundles.
- cwyers 8y agoThe trouble comes if they're not the same DLLs. Chromium updates often enough that there's lots of different versions you can bundle.
- cjbprime 8y agoBut how would that situation be any different in the presence of some kind of system Chromium install provided by MS? Chromium updates often, so you don't want to run your client-side JS against any other Electron version than the one you wrote it for because they change APIs frequently, so you'll still have one set of DLLs for each needed Electron version.
- cwyers 8y agoGiven that it's Chromium (and thus effort to get things running should be minimal), and most Electron app writers aren't pushing Chromium to the bleeding edge, why wouldn't they test on the one that ships with the desktop OS with the largest installed base out there?
