Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported issue in the MetaMask Chrome extension on Windows 11 with an i3 CPU and 8 GB of RAM, then profile CPU and memory while enabling the extension. The issue does not identify a file, test, or specific operation beyond enabling MetaMask; done would require identifying and reducing the reported CPU and RAM spike.
