Details
On a fresh profile, Firefox takes about 3 seconds to launch and show about:home on my machine. After installing Test Pilot and enabling the addons "Tab Center" and "Activity Stream", it takes about 10 to 12 seconds. Here's a profile from Dan Callahan's machine: https://cleopatra.io/#report=07b15e5c88a431b4fa5e41982caeb4c92003cae1 There's a lot going on in that profile, but not much is actually happening. I challenge everybody to find a single sample on the main thread where we're doing actual work, and aren't just stuck in some kind of overhead. For example, the add-on SDK's module system seems to have a huge amount of overhead - we're evaluating included JS files again and again, and are spending huge amounts of time in readURI (which only checks URIs and constructs channels, but doesn't actually read the file).

A discussion thread was already started a few days ago on GitHub for Activity Stream performance issues that might be related. https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/issues/1420
