Having too many extensions doesn't slow the overall computer speed as Chrome runs all these extensions in background?

The entire chrome slows the pc, check the task manager for example (on windows) to see how much. For me just chrome use 4gb of ram (with two users, lots of extensions and lots of tabs). I have a good pc so I can handle this 4gb (I have 16 of ram) but lots of pc have just 4 or 8gb. Even if what takes to most are too much tab opened in the same time, too much extensions can slow the pc, even if chrome is closed.
