The way things are headed, we'll soon be running most of our applications in the browser. Someone needs to come up with a multi-threaded JavaScript. Yes, I know, it's not going to be pretty.

Unless somebody comes up with an app that's doing massive amounts of data processing in JS, I think giving each tab/window its own thread in the browser will be an adequate solution for the foreseeable future.
