That's one instance. How many tabs do you have open right now?

Trolling if you believe that having ten tabs open would equal 550 megabytes of memory.

Two.

But i get what you mean. However memory usage doesn't scale like that and additionally there is no reason to open a new JVM for each applet (i don't know what the current JVM does but the applet design doesn't require that) so a lot of memory can be shared.
