Not at all. On my panel is a workspace switcher with six
boxes. Each one, when clicked on, gives me what amounts to a
fresh desktop, or at least looks like one. One for my
terminal, doing email and administrative stuff; one for each
browser; one for my newsreader; and one with a terminal using
a special profile -- a font small enough to make man pages
format properly. And, of course, with tabs each browser only
actually displays one site at a time, if any;
All the stuff you have running in hidden workspaces and browser
tabs is still consuming memory, CPU time and other system
resources. You might see just one site being displayed but your
machine is loaded with the task of keeping dozens of web pages
ready for instantaneous display.
