You shouldn't see any slowdown. The code uses minimal resources - reads the table data, calls a webservice and injects the keyword volume and cpc numbers.

Just Chrome itself slows my mb pro 8gb down to a crawl. One day I will find out why.

This is nice. Where are you pulling the data from? How do we know it's accurate?

How about adding tutorial on how to use this plugin? This is big problem with chrome extension devs. No tutorial anywhere!

Looking into source code of chrome ext and https://keywordkeg.com it appears they are using Google AdWords, MOZ and other APIs.

Pure genius... provide some value to marketers and then steal all their best performing keywords and campaign data to the toolbar :)

Every time you search on Google a request is made to https://keywordkeg.com/service/1/getKeywordData.php to grab pricing/volume data. This means keywordkeg is aware of all your google searches. A privacy-aware solution could have been to make direct requests to Google API without proxying via keywordkeg middleware.
