According to the documentation setInterval should have the same minimum delay as setTimeout. Still the test shows that sometimes the function is called faster than the documented minimum delay. Afaik Safari throttles setTimeout to 10ms once they detected that the timeout is called in a loop. I couldn't find anything in the documentation for Firefox but that would explain the execution of the function in less than 10ms for the first executions. Still I cannot come up with an explanation why the calls occasionally are faster than 10ms after a few thousand calls. Does anyone knows what is going on here? - Robin -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/jsmentors@jsmentors.com/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/jsmentors@googlegroups.com/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to jsmentors+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
