Try starting Chrome with the following five tabs opened by default: http://lifehacker.com/5045904/the-power-users-guide-to-google-chrome http://lifehacker.com/5324926/catch-phrases-that-may-tip-you-off-to-a-lie?skyline=true&s=x http://lifehacker.com/5325169/the-hidden-risks-of-cloud-computing?skyline=true&s=x http://lifehacker.com/5325393/spiff-up-flat-images-with-textures?skyline=true&s=x http://lifehacker.com/5324724/bad-apple-an-argument-against-buying-an-iphone?skyline=true&s=x On average I save almost a whopping 100MB of memory using the --process-per-site switch instead of the --single-process switch (I'm using Chrome 3.0.193.2).

WHY NOT add keyboard shortcuts to all menu options and right-click context menus?? Why not add the Opera speed dial function that lets me get to a website by simply pressing Ctrl-1 ... Ctrl-9 even if that site isn't open yet. Please get to work, Google Chrome. Otherwise: great browser. Unfortunately, Opera is still the browser to use if you are trying to shun the mouse.

Sure, it works in the short-term, but it loses in the long-term. One of the biggest advantages of the multi-process approach is that when a tab/process is closed, *ALL* memory associated with that tab is freed. With everything running in a single process, the RAM usage will slowly bloat ever larger as RAM is incompletely freed due to fragmentation. So, in the long run, the default multi-process mode will save the most memory. I disagree about running Chrome in a single process to save RAM.
