I also found one solution that Firefox uses. When you click x on a tab to close it, it immediately closes it on the screen even though the tab process is still using ram and memory, and ends the process a few seconds later. The result is being able to close dozens of tabs nearly instantly because they don't have to wait for the process to end.
Ideally the best solution is for the process to almost instantaneously be terminated, but if that can't be achieved, then this seems a good replacement.
