Chrome and Firefox aren't good tests because of their multi-process architecture. The renderer process is a child of the one holding the main window, so even if the main process is frozen, the child can still render. The architecture is done because usually the situation is the reverse: the renderer freezes and the main process can kill it and reload. I don't know about the Media Player. It's quite likely that the video itself is decoded entirely out of process, but I thought the feeding of the bytes from the file would come from the process itself. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
