Comment (by T(A)ILS developers):

 Replying to [comment:40 mikeperry]:
 > I have seen a couple instances of this popup personally on some sites.
 You can also notice the ~5 to 10X performance degradation on ​https
 ://octane-benchmark.googlecode.com/svn/latest/index.html and
 ​http://dromaeo.com/, and these benchmark sites will also trigger the
 popup.

 For what it's worth, I can confirm the "~5 to 10X performance degradation"
 on http://dromaeo.com/:
 * JIT/etc disabled: http://dromaeo.com/?id=221958
 * JIT/etc enabled: http://dromaeo.com/?id=221959

 I never got the "popup", but with JIT/etc enabled the responsiveness was
 noticeably better, although still quite bad.
