My experience is limited here, but I think that if one is logged in then the
others won't be - because a separate session will be maintained for each.

The only information that the site admin will have (if he/she cares to look)
will be the site access logs. These will record your IP address, the page(s)
you requested and a few other bits and bobs. I don't think you would be able
to glean any session related information from this, so no, I don't believe
it would be possible for the site admin to identify that you have one
process logged in and several that are not - at least not from looking at
the logs.

All the admin might notice is if you hit the site hard.
