As we add more subprocesses (workers, utilities, extensions, etc.), it would be great if we could reduce the minimum memory that these processes consume. I know that there was some work done a while back to look at what was the minimum cost of a new process on Windows given our dll size, etc.

I suspect a big chunk of the memory is the V8 heap. Each process that uses V8 will need a separate heap. We could experiment with lowering the heap size for extensions, if we think extensions will be less script heavy than web pages. On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 5:37 PM, Erik Kay
