Re: [w3c/gamepad] Make gamepads accessible by web worker (#37)

kvnloo left a comment (w3c/gamepad#37)

Chromium's new raw-input path strengthens the worker use case here.

The browser process already detects gamepad changes on its polling thread and transports `GamepadRawInputChanged` through Mojo. Chromium also records telemetry for the end-to-end delay from the gamepad timestamp to dispatch of `gamepadrawinputchanged`.

The remaining main-thread dependency is therefore relatively late in the pipeline.

A worker experiment could measure the same timestamp→handler latency on Window vs Worker and quantify exactly how much main-thread contention worker exposure eliminates.
