I've read several reports of people who claim to have much better performance when setting content processes to 1 from the default 4. Here's the latest

Ideally Firefox would identify that these machines aren't running well on 4 processes and automatically adjust down to a lower number if it gives better performance.

Do we have another bug on file for dynamically adjusting the number of content processes?

It would be useful to know what kind of machines they are running. How many cores do they have?

This also applies to memory constrained machines; I have seen reports expressing surprise at the amount of memory taken up by 57 vs. competing browsers. This goes all the way up to users whose machines who have 8GB of RAM.
It seems like some users at least, are more concerned about memory usage on these machines. The caveat (and open question, imo) is whether reducing content processes will regress the perceived performance improvements vs. other browsers.

I'm going to dupe this over to bug 1399962, we'll track this over there.
