Aside from the fact that the author of

doesn't know how to spell "supersede" (and either wasn't using or ignored
Word's spell check), the white paper seems to be pretty much saying that a

impact performance. If the plug-ins didn't affect usability and performance
even more negatively, this might be relevant.
