I currently analyse inefficient Firefox addons by uninstalling them and seeing empirically in a long run whether the addon was a problem or not. However, this way of finding the inefficient addons is very time-consuming. I would like to know exact numerical ways to see the CPU consumption for each addon independently in Firefox the C...
This is an issue that recently came up for me while writing a new XSLT for some XML generated by an application with XTHML embedded using CDATA.
