I'm not sure you would save that much memory. It would be a similar situation to having Chrome open with a bunch of tabs (those are separate processes as well) - it's the tabs themselves that consume most of the memory, compared to "bare" Chrome.

On my computer, "bare" Chrome with 0 tabs open still uses ~100MB of memory. If Electron would just use 100MB for the base compared to 100 * number of open Electron apps, that's still a pretty big win in my book.
