When in the background, the renderer process should be stopped together with its parent. However it will continue using memory.
The OOM killer should be instructed to kill stopped processes in priority, not sure how feasible that is though.

  Also the OOM scoring mechanism really should take more things into
  accounts. To me it happens frequently that an app is hanging unused in
  the right edge spread for days without getting killed, but the 2 most
  recent apps I switch between get killed all the time.
