This is really not a major one, but it will definitely be good in some of the use cases:

CEF3 uses a multi-process execution model as explained here. This means that in essence, CEF will start up a new process of your main .exe, which takes care of rendering, executing Javascript etc etc. This might be a problem if the main .exe process is big (say 100 MiB).

However, question 18 in the CEF FAQ suggest a pretty nice workaround. I think we should consider making a C++ binary based on this and ship it with CefSharp.

Actually, this one isn't so unimportant and should be fixed.
