Google Chrome running 11 times !

[dgreen]

I like Google Chrome, it seems to be an excellent browser but it's not as fast as I'd expect.
I get quite a bit of buffering so I opened the task manager which revealed 10 (ten) chrome *32 running.
This seems a bit excessive and I would image it's why everything slows down.
Is this normal or is there a way of rectifying it.

Thanks

Did you have 10 web pages open at that time?  I believe Chrome generates a separate instance in Task Manager for each web page opened.

Nope, just the one......
This is why it's very strange !

You're always going to have at least n + 1 chrome.exe processes, where n is the number of unique domains you have open across all visible tabs. The +1 is for the "Browser" process coordinating everything else. You'll also have processes for any extensions that might have a background window open. Hit Shift+Esc or go to Chrome's Task Manager (under the Tools menu/sub-menu depending on which version of Chrome you're running) to see a list of all the processes and what they're being used for. Also note that Chrome starts a separate process for each Flash instance.

by the way, Chrome has a built in sandbox, which means each tab has got its own process. One tab that crashes shouldn't take down all the other tabs, or even the entire browser itself theoretically.

Same deal with the active plugins and extensions.

So it's normal that you probably see many  "chrome.exe"'s lurking in your task manager assuming you do have chrome running .

When one Tab crashes ...it takes down Chrome...
I can send you more info to test if you like.

that;s why I said 'theoretically', but as you already pointed out, that isn't the case
