 If a user is setting the security slider level to "high" and is reading
 its description, the first thing JavaScript related that shows up is: "All
 JavaScript performance optimizations are disabled. Scripts on some sites
 my run slower."

 This is pretty confusing as a bit later it is pointed out that "JavaScript
 is disabled by default on all sites."

 We should remove the first explanation on this security level. Thanks for
 karsten pointing this out.
