I'm going to suggest dev-tech-network is the wrong level to be making
this decision. (Ironic, I know - I'm always pushing stuff at d.t.n).
But in this case this should be decision driven, imo, by the product
teams (performance regression!) and the privacy teams. They are in the
position to manage the tradeoff. If they come to a conclusion that this
should be done if the hit is within some cost boundary then d.t.n seems
like the right place to work on making that happen, fill out a product
feature, etc.. I would ask those teams to really consider, at least in
the initial pass, the question of "how much of a performance hit is this
worth to you upfront" rather than punting it back and saying "how much
would this cost?".
I don't really have an opinion here from a product standpoint except to
say that the idea of implementing something that causes a pretty serious
negative performance change isn't something that's very appealing.
