I haven't put a whole lot of thought into it other than this. When I start chrome, I have it start with one tab. It still starts in task manager with 2 instances. I believe this is probably going to be mostly because of the ability to drag tabs off of the "parent". So it starts off with 2 right from the beginning.
Now, I have seen other processes, like plugin installation ... which i denied ... and just the bar was a seperate process. I think that the only processes that I have seen so far start new processes could in fact make since in running on their own without the help of the "parent". They are just allowing it to interact with the "parent" program ... like one could drag an image from a browser into a many of the word processors. They are always looking to save bytes. closing the separate window, that has separate tabs does seem to take all of it's memory along with it. Taking oop to the next level ... although I hope people don't read this and think it is a good idea. I think if it were anyone else, I would have removed it already.
