It was done for both reasons. Here's the Google Chrome comic book talking about it: https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/small_04.html Another benefit they cite is reduced memory fragmentation. Because each tab lives in its own memory space, when the tab closes the OS can reclaim all of its memory. Presumably you'd still get framentation, but the OS is probably better able to handle that long term than jemalloc. Clever! |
