Description

When using the chrome extension it adds up to 400ms+ in page load time

Environment:
Axe Version 4.0.0
Windows 10
Chrome Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Expectation: To not have such a significant impact on speed.

Motivation: Deceiving page load times had me confused why pages were loading lightning fast in chrome incognito mode vs regular non-incognito mode, there should be a warning that there is a significant impact to page load time.

I'm also using service workers to create fully progressive web app where I normally get around 200ms page load time.
