Tab consumes ~90% CPU when CPU throttling is enabled

Reported by vkhomyac...@gmail.com, Mar 10 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3187.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Developer Tools for a tab with any web page opened in it
2. Go to Performance tab
3. Enable 6x CPU throttling

What is the expected behavior?
There should be no high CPU usage

What went wrong?
Built-in Task Manager shows that CPU usage for the tab increases to ~90%, and CPU usage for Developer Tools tab is still ~0.1%

System Monitoring app for Mac OS shows ~92% CPU usage for Chromium Helper process

`top` command in console also lists Chromium Helper:
