Hello,
In my add-on I’m using hidden tabs to create thumbnails of pages in iframe nodes.
However I’m experiencing very low performance of my code - some actions that are done almost instantly in focused tab can now take more than 1 minute! And I’m not talking about some heavy work - it’s mostly just minor DOM manipulation and sending messages to the background script.
Is there a way to make it faster? Without affecting user experience.
Also some GPU related visual stuff are often not drawn at all even with a big delay. For example the map in here:

I understand that the reason to give less power to the not focused tabs - however I also understand that Hidden tabs are here to make some work that cannot be done in workers.
