What happens when you have 50 tabs open using this "engine"?

  Nothing? I actually measured it incorrectly in the comment you replied. With nothing happening on the page Chrome's task manager reports ~0.1 CPU usage for the tab. Almost all of the overhead on this page is from the header and footer animations [1] and not the widgets. Browsers limit things like `requestAnimationFrame` in inactive tabs anyway so even if it was bad it wouldn't be devastating.
