Frankly, I'm not really surprised. Some of those browser type applications are resource hungry. Firefox here at present is using 1.9 Gb of memory, but not getting in the way of anything else.

It also does not appear to be causing issues for me. I just never noticed it before. I did not even really know what a PID was. I have forgotten more about computers than I care to admit...lol
This started with Chrome not working correctly and having to find out what the issue was. There were Chrome extensions that were corrupted. I had to delete them all and reinstall the ones I needed.
This is most likely normal computer maintenance for someone who knows what they are doing!

Interesting, I just open 10 taps and there were 40 PIds for Chrome.
I sometimes wish I had a wall of computer screens. I like to multi-task or refer back to a photo/article when I am trying to learn and understand something complex.
It is easier to let the computer hold the information than me trying to visualize multistable things in my head.

I currently have 58 PIDs with about 1.5gb memory usage. It's normal depending on how hard you're pushing the browser. I currently have 53 tabs open, though many of them have gone to "sleep" thanks to a Chrome extension I use.

Chrome tends to plateau around 50% memory usage, depending on system. With 16gb ram on my work desktop I generally see 8gb used by Chrome at a maximum. With 48gb ram on my old Mac I used to see it peak around 24gb used. Not sure exactly what they do for memory management, but it seems to work.
I guess the software is written so that many of the tabs become 'dormant' while not directly in use, maybe swapped out of RAM if resource requirements are limited.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
