"Google Chrome Renderer?"

Has anyone else noticed that there is a process called "Google Chrome Renderer" which takes up 5-6 processes in Activity Monitor?



Initially, I was shocked and happy to see how little memory Chrome took up. But now, I'm not so sure. You add it all up, and it's about 350 MB or so!

Anyone else see this when they're running Chrome?
 
I think that what you're seeing is the effect of the fact that Chrome uses a separate rendering engine for each tab or window you open. This was one of the major technological differences between Chrome and other browsers, at least at its launch.
