More overhead?  Yes but probably not terribly significant.  I probably 
shouldn't go there since I haven't done this sort of stuff for about 20 
years but I think the DLLs that are loaded (the bulk of the application 
logic) will be shared by the multiple process instances.

I also mostly use tabs with Firefox but tend to use multiple instances 
to group closely related work.  If I get a large number of tabs open and 
am suddenly interested in doing something totally unrelated I may open 
another instance and either close it if I'm done or park it to be picked 
up later after returning to the other instance.
