In Google Chrome, each tab is a separate process?!
I had 13 tabs and 15 chrome processes.
May be some tabs take more than one process? I need to investigate or understand chrome better.

Yes, Every tab in chrome is a seperate process.
This is to ensure that when a tab hangs, only that tab will crash, unlike IE and FF, where the whole window closes.
Just one of the few advantages of having multiple processes for multiple tabs

You might want to check if there are only 2 extra processes always. The other thing might be to check how may windows were open (as in these 15 tabs were in how many windows?). if the answer is two then they could be the parent window process that spawns the tab threads. It would be useful to check if the difference between the number of processes and number of tabs increases with more number of windows
