Electron Renderer process memory optimization for low-traffic background workloads
Electron's multi-process architecture allocates a separate Chromium instance for every BrowserWindow , which creates a significant memory baseline even for applications with minimal user interaction. For low-traffic workloads, maintaining multiple active renderer processes can lead to unnecessary resource consumption. While the Main process manages the appli
