It is possible to disable developer extras without disabling profiling.  This leads to an assertion failure in JSDOMWindowBase.cpp.

ASSERT(enabled || !supportsProfiling(thisObject));

from IRC:
[17:04:06] <olliej> kpiascik: technically the assertion isn't harmful, but it wil mean poor performance and poor memory usage

We should disable profiling when the front-end is detached.
