Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

Additional details here.

Steps to Reproduce

After integrating Sentry’s Next.js They into their frontend, a customer experienced that their /login route response time increased from ~2 s to ~13 s. We are currently sending a small percentage of transactions (via tracesSampleRate: 0.05) and have Session Replay enabled. They confirmed that the slowness issue goes away when Sentry is disabled.

Expected Result

Minimal performance degradation

Actual Result

The load time is significantly higher than before adding Sentry

Can they test if the overhead remains if they remove session replay? I cannot imagine our SDK adding such a drastic overhead. How do they measure the response time?
