Nuking content windows is one of the biggest single chunks of overhead I see when profiling content scripts in tp5o tests, and nuking content script sandboxes just adds to it. When we destroy a window with multiple frames, we wind up nuking the wrappers for each of them in separate operations. I suspect we could speed things up significantly by adding a timeout, and nuking the wrappers for all windows that are destroyed withing the timeout window in a single operation. As a bonus, any windows or sandboxes that happen to be collected before the timeout elapses won't have to be nuked at all. Alternatively, maybe we should just set a flag on the compartments and handle the nuking the first time we trace the wrapper table after we set it. Checking the flag might add a measurable bit of overhead to each GC, as opposed to once per compartment nuke, but it looks like a lot of the overhead is in the UncheckedUnwrap calls, which we already get for free when we're tracing the wrapper tables.

This sounds like a dupe of bug 816784. I think Ting is looking into it.

Ah, indeed. And good timing, too.
