I don't think throughput is a barrier at the moment.
The main touted benefit I've heard of Chromium's tab-threading is insulation, so if one tab crashes it doesn't bring the whole browser down.
- gnaritas 18y agoActually, I'd say the main benefit is that closing tabs actually releases memory because those processes die.
- Herring 18y agoNew computers are coming with gigabytes of ram, I have 2. On the other hand, I rather enjoyed watching a quicktime crash take down only 1 tab. I kept loading it repeatedly.
- gnaritas 18y agoI have 4, that means nothing when the browser keeps bloating up and taking gigs itself because opening and closing lots of tabs all day long fragments the memory so badly that it can't release ram back to the OS when you close some tabs.
