I met with some Chromium engineers over dinner last week and talked about
how Blink throttles rAF on background tabs to zero FPS, and that they're
also working on setting off-screen iframes to zero FPS. I believe we
currently throttle to 1 FPS for off-screen and background tabs.
Should we go to zero as well?

Thanks, Seth. Please file a bug for us to capture the details of a plan
here.

We do eventually throttle rAF to zero for background tabs, IIRC (there?s an
exponential decay phase first). IIRC, we mainly didn?t do it for offscreen
iframes in foreground tabs because of concerns that there could be interaction
between different iframes, so throttling an offscreen iframe totally off could
also end up disabling a visible iframe. Till might remember more specifics.
I?d like to go to zero as well if we think we can get away with it. If Blink is
*committed* to doing it too, then we probably can.

That was my expectation but it was worth bringing it up. And doing so
may help trigger that thought in the future when a change is planned
that *will* have an impact. Carry on! :)
