Yes, it could decrease responsiveness. We would sacrifice performance for memory with this model. It would be useful mostly for flyweight applications and widgets that do not need very high responsiveness and has smaller workload for the web engine then starting and initializing a web process. It is also true that if the singleton instance of the web process crashes then all the client processes became broken. However it would be possible to running plugins in separate processes. It is important to note that this model can leave together with the others. Applications could chose the model they want to use. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
