You're correct. It's mostly an organizational advantage, akin to sorting the papers on your desk into stacks or trays. But, there are certain system efficiencies, as well. With most OSes, each new window uses system resources for creation and destruction and for monitoring during it's existence. By keeping multiple pages within a single application window, there should be reduced system overhead. Of course, I don't really know if this is true of MacOS. . .
