I'll second this with a personal anecdote as well.

If you do want to do this, clear it explicitly with your manager/person doing your perf reviews...

I had a non-technical manager who thought I was "avoiding" work by doing this instead of shipping new features and received a negative review because of it, even after explaining the situation.

Haha same. Mine thought these were unfinished tasks from my previous work and only have to do it now because i was slacking before.
