Those single processes are still mostly single threaded.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a huge leap forward to have a single webpage running in its own process, but there’s ample room for improvement.

That’s what GP is referring to.

And a given OS is running about 1000 threads at the same time. Unless you specifically set all your apps to very high priority / nice numbers, Your thread will still spend a lot of time waiting between context switches even if it does execute faster when it finally gets one of the few cores available
