ChromeDriver disable rendering and CSS

I want to run high performance tests on chrome driver. They still require execution of javascript. But rendering the page and executing/parsing css, is just not necessary and a waste of time. How can I prevent chromedriver from rendering and/or loading the css? Run it fully headless.

I am aware of HTMLUnit as an alternative but it is extremely slow, and does terrible job with the javascript.

I did find Phantom Driver https://github.com/qa/arquillian-phantom-driver and I tested it but I would prefer to stick with chrome due to the extensions and amazing support I can find for it.

Chrome/chromedriver cannot run headless without some virtual screen like Xserver, and it can't not-render the html and css.
