"If the page is not currently visible, animations on that page can be throttled heavily" There are a range of web applications that the user would not wish or expect to be so effected. These might for instance include motion detection, when using a remote webcam, such as perhaps a baby monitor**. Others such as eyetracking have accessibility considerations. Though a background process, it has the potential to offer access to the wider web, desktop and even the operating system, whilst offering good opportunities for personalisation, education and further development. More generally it may be understood that when trying to visualise complex phenomena it is unrealistic to expect all aspects to be rendered in a single image, and that the user may wish to move between renders that are being updated concurrently. It may also be considered that the general user is aware of the need to close windows as applications slow, and benefits from this awareness. For this reason I propose that this concept needs further deliberation. kind regards -- Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.gnote.org Eyetracking in HTML5 **partner, pet, flat, star, traffic......
