[Edbrowse-dev] Short Timers

[Karl Dahlke <eklhad@comcast.net>]

If you call up www.eventbrite.com you'll notice 10 javascript timers
at the top of the page, all active in 4 milliseconds.
It occurs to me that if javascript is suppose to run in 4 ms,
it should probably just run.
Now if js is scheduled to run in 10 seconds, then it should wait on your command,
wait for you to read the page, because we read a new website slower than
our sighted friends, so long timers are under our control,
but perhaps any timer under one second, or whatever threshold we choose,
should just run.
Queue them up in order of time and run them.
Even if they do nothing other than visual effects,
at least those first ten annoying lines about js timers
would be off of the web page.
What do you think?
