In testing Connections has a marginal impact on site load times. The only pages where there is a larger impact are the pages which display the directory entries; eg. the frontend pages with the Connections shortcode and the Connections : Manage admin page. But that is to be expected since those would be the locations where most of the Connections code is being run.
You attachments did not make it thru because the file sizes were too large. Can you please make the file size smaller and attach them to a reply. I’ll take a look but, in my experience, errors in the browser console are large coming from other plugins or the theme.
OR
Instead of a screenshot, could you share a link to your directory page … that is far more helpful to me vs. screenshots.
