Comment:

 To be clear, for us the fingerprinting risks are in the DOM rendering
 timers more so than the network stuff. However, I also don't see a lot of
 use for this info during a specific page load. It seems more like the type
 of stuff that will be useful in aggregate and/or during development than
 for tweaking behavior to timing conditions on the fly. I am fine simply
 fully switching it off and leaving it off for these reasons.
