Perhaps other factors (e.g. pages load 1% faster) have pushed us over a
threshold where this problem is noticed.  Or perhaps tvl was right about
plugins working better.  Not sure it matters much  given what you found

No; bad things will happen for a user with 20+ tabs only if they run 10
copies of Chrome at once.

Chrome has reasonable renderer process limits so you won't hit this limit
