Meh, my three year old phone has 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 8x cores clocked at over 2ghz. In the time it takes my brain to send signals to move my muscles to move my mouse to a different tab my computer has lived multiple lifetimes of operations. For handling unbelievable load at scale, sure processes will kill scaling. But for handling a user clicking and touching their inputs of dozens or hundreds of tabs.. I doubt anyone will notice on today's machines.
