Reload After Crash

I have about 900 tabs distributed in a dozen chrome browser windows. My biggest problem is that after a browser crash it takes a half hour for it to restore the tabs. I have been testing in a small test environment, but before I try this extension in the 900 tab setting, what should I expect on an after crash restore. If I have discarded a large number of tabs will it try and restore those and still take 30 minutes? Will the discarded ones still show in their original places with the discard marking in its icon on the tab bar?

I would say it takes the same time. Chrome handles the recovery so I guess it does not matter if a tab was discarded or not. This extension uses the native discarding (it asks the browser to discard or not discard a tab) so basically all the process of recovery is done by Chrome.
