Thanks Hive account@lexiconical! I have a new release planned to be published in a day or two! After that, I promise I'll look into performance to understand if indeed is my extension that could cause the problem!

However, I'm not quite sure about it.. because I don't even use the steemd node to retrieve the information but the node of Hive account@gtg (the witness) that is faster. So it should not impact on steemit performance
