Chrome Problem

Hi
I have been having problems with Chrome running a bit slow and some plugin crashes. Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled it.

It's still not running well. On checking the task manager to see what processes are using what, I have found four instances of Chrome, surely that's not right?
I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

    Actually it is - chrome opens each tab as a seperate process so that if one tab crashes, the whole browser doesn't crash.

    Thank you cgk1. I guess my problem lies elsewhere then.

    Flash has been sandboxed in Chrome since version 10 and I haven't seen anything that requires Shockwave in years.

    Which plugins/extensions are you using?
