I suppose in a non-e10s window everything works fine ?

So so, I tested with Firefox, not Nightly, and it's a little bit slow to. Maybe because there are too many tabs.

Mistakenly filed against Firefox 38 and should be instead 38 Branch. Sorry for the spam. dkl

If this is happening on release it is not e10s specific. minus tracking-e10s.

Tested (seeFF versions below) the reported behavior and it's still reproducible in some manner:

Build ID 20151223140742 - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID 20160103030302 - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0


The browser becomes somehow slower, but I didn't get the point where it's unusable: might be because I don't have addons and my profile was a clean one.
However I will mark this issue as Works for me, because I think the fault it's on G+ and G communities having a huge amount of data and not on the browser. I'm saying this because performance wise in the same given conditions, the chromium behaves worse than Firefox.

So, bottom line I believe it's expected to lose some performance that when you have a lot of tabs that load and refresh a lot of data.
