As another drastic anecdotal step, I've turned off javascript on  
Safari (my main browser) and turn to other browsers when I find a site  
that requires javascript. If I don't do that, I find my Macbook Air  
battery eaten away in under an hour just because I left pages open  
that use setTimeout inappropriately. I wonder if in addition to a  
highres timer, we shouldn't also be considering other event driven  
APIs that could largely eliminate the use of timers from most sites.

Take care,
Rob
