Yup, much improved. Still, even with shared dlls in memory, each extra instance
adds a bit of load. Certainly no problem
with up to date hardware and most apps. I wouldn't try to run multiple
instances of PS.
Hmmm... Thinking about it now, some apps will open a new instance, while others
just pop up on top. Not sure about the
details. Probably under program(mer) control.
