...contains a program that executes a function every millisecond using setInterval. It then uses setTimeout to executes a function every two milliseconds, then every millisecond, then it invokes a function repeatedly with a zero value (which is supposed to be reset to 1 according to the documentation.) Finally, it invokes a function repeatedly using nextTick. Using the high-resolution timer, the program samples the intervals and prints them to standard out. The setInterval function works as expected, invoking its callback at millisecond intervals. With a value of 2, setTimeout will invoke its callback after a two millisecond interval. With a value of 1 or 0, setTimeout calls back its callback immediately, in about two microseconds, a little bit faster than nextTick. Is this correct? I'd expect that setTimeout would always wait for at least a millisecond before invoking its callback. -- Alan Gutierrez - @bigeasy -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
