Thanks for the report.

This is mostly this regression:
  complicated.netmonitor.exportHar 	1,661.95 ± 1.73% 	< 	1,743.48 ± 0.97% 	4.91%
that ends up impacting following tests and trigerring this alert.

Unfortunately, bug 1449162 has a negative impact on HAR export. I made my best to lower the regression but this is the best I could do. I'll hopefully come back to that and improve the performance of this in bug 1462561.
