When I have Flash installed and I visit nytimes.com in an e10s-enabled browser on Linux, performance is really bad. It loads okay, but after a few seconds, scrolling gets really jerky. Sometimes the tab will take 5 seconds to respond at all.

I'm not sure if this is a graphics issue or a plugins issue. The same STR seems to work much better on Macs.
Is there anything standing out using the profiler?
I'll take a look, but I don't think that Firefox was actually taking a lot of CPU when this happened. Other tabs running in the same process were responding okay. It seems to be more of an issue where some events (clicks or redraws maybe) are being processed very late when the page has plugins on it.

Also, I saw this with plugins besides Flash, so it seems like a general plugin issue.
