IIRC, the current Mozilla multiprocess work only makes one process per
plugin, even if the plugin is invoked from different page processes
(mostly a result of Flash having major problems if you try to invoke it
multiple times).

I'm not entirely up-to-date on what exactly happens with applet
invocation, but Mozilla's current approach strikes me as working best.
At least for the moment.
