Description Tim Horton 2014-07-07 19:06:52 PDT
Because nothing ever reads from it!

It would also be nice if MiniBrowser had a maximumProcessCount=1 mode; frequently useful for debugging things where having two pages in one process is important.

Huh, I see no indication that there's a process cap by default. I thought it was 20 or some such?

Everywhere else in this method we use the instance variable _configuration, not the parameter.
