It looks like the extension is processing or doing "something" for each request for the Twitch stream (going through AWS). They probably need to have some kind of optimization around this.

Hey Ed, can you please get in touch with the developers and/or point them at this report?

Hey,
im Furkan and im the guy who had issued this on the #perf channel.
Its important to note that the video is NOT the Profiler output. I had run the profiler beforehand with the same idea (Opening 5 Tabs), but in that case I also had Twitch running.
In the video i send it was nothing else running except the tabs u see. So the Twitch Stream cant be the actual issue for this.
If wanted, i can create a new firefox profiler like in the video.
Thanks
Furkan
