How to see the impact installing BApps might have on Burp Suite

Summary: PortSwigger added an Estimated system impact feature to Burp Suite as of version 2022.5.1, showing itemized impact estimates for every BApp in the BApp Store plus an aggregated estimate based on the BApps a user has installed. Ratings for individual BApps are split across four areas plus an Overall estimate, and the figures describe background impact rather than impact during use.
Why it matters: The estimate covers only idle background load, so a BApp rated "Low" can still be resource intensive while in use - meaning the number a tester sees before installing is not the number they will feel mid-engagement.
