Shouldn't make a difference; the browser chrome (heh) runs in a process 
of its own, and each tab also runs in its own process, so it's not like 
there is any scheduling issues---the OS schedules all of the components 
preemptively, since they're all full, standalone processes.  Plugins 
also get their own processes, so when plugins crash, the browser 
continues to run.
