Performance testing is hard; for good performance testing you need a carefully set up environment. It's OK to require special browser configuration to make it believe that the user is always present and the window is always visible. I don't think we need to avoid Web platform or browser features because they might make performance testing a bit harder. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
