Webs saved as apps eat up GPU, when they use no GPU when running in tabs
Lobotomik thanks for taking a look and submitting this feedback. We believe we have fixed this issue in current builds. Can you try again by saving a new site as an app in your Dev channel and seeing if it remains the same as if it were in Edge itself? We think it was a bug in the titlebar code used for saved sites.
if you do see it still, please file feedback so we can diagnose it.
Thanks!

Since Windows 10 automatically installed the non-dev Edge in my computer I checked if the issue would happen just the same in Edge as in Edge-dev. I uninstalled Gmail from the control panel, opened it with Edge, saved it as an app, and ran it. Now I see two instances of Microsoft Edge, each one enveloping several tasks. Now the instance corresponding to non-dev Edge showed the increased GPU usage when the Gmail window was not running minimized.
So the issue is present in both Edge-final and Edge-dev.
