As far as I can see this would force me to re-render each view on change and also make it harder for a user to compare the different views. Further if the user has multiple screens, I think using several Windows is better than using only one. Your idea is good, however its not what I want to do if it is possible to do it the way I described.
If am not mistaken, if the user is using Chrome I would actually be able to use several cores in the CPU for rendering if the application is split between different Windows? Correct me if I am mistaken.
