I've been looking at the setTimeout clamping in Gecko recently, and one thing I've been interesting in trying is to clamp differently in different windows (for example, have a lower clamp in active windows and a higher one in inactive ones). That's not something the spec seems to allow right now, but I think it would be beneficial to users in terms of preventing inactive windows from accidentally hogging the CPU. Note that right now in Gecko "active window" means "currently selected tab in some browser window" and "inactive window" means "background tab", but that's subject to change. -BorisReceived on Saturday, 15 January 2011 18:29:04 GMT
