Windows 8 Chrome entries + task manager

[Peterr]

Do you notice a lot of Chrome entries in your task manager?
I have 7 of them. I read they run independently so they will not interfere with each other but if all companies did this, the task manager would be enormous. Is this, in your opinion, as it should be or do I have an issue?

This is as it should be as Chrome is using multithreaded instances for web apps and plugins. See here for a more technical explanation: http://blog.chromium.org/2008/09/multi-process-architecture.html

Thanks Mike. I read the interesting article and also the comments beneath it. If you have not done so, give them a read and see what you think. I do not know enough to decipher fact from fiction but I get the drift.
