Yes. It will slow down things like quitting the browser with lots of tabs open. And on platforms without these issues, it will slow them unnecessarily.

If this is truly needed for GTK/WPE/etc, it will need to be specific to those platforms.

We don't want to slow down WebView destruction on Mac/iOS
