Details

The ES6 implementation of some features is much slower than the ES5 equivalents according to this test: https://fhinkel.github.io/six-speed/ On most of the tests where Firefox ES6 is slower, it is way worse than other browsers. For example in the "classes" tests Firefox is ~30x slower, but Chrome is ~2x slower and Edge is just ~1.2x slower. This should probably be turned into a metabug, with specific issues as dependencies.
Thanks for your report. We are aware of these performance and hope to find time to fix them soon.
