I am not an experienced programmer in Cocoa -- I have only dabbled. But, I have a question with regard to how event queue (terminology may not be correct) is done differently then a windows platform.
As an example, I noticed that each separate Tab of a Chrome browser instance is itself a separate process. Yet, each separate tab of Safari seems to be folded into the single Safari process. I have also noted that tabs in Safari are totally independent of each other such that I can be playing music from Pandora on one tab and watching a Netflix movie in another tab of the same Safari instance. From my knowledge of the MS Windows platform (WPF for example), this cannot be done. That is, a process has a single event queue from which events are dispatched (control events like mouse, timer, and so on). Yet, on Apple Cocoa it seems that you can have multiple event queues within a single process. Is this true or am I barking up a wrong tree?
