Maybe the new Timer API should be extended with an option for: should this timer be executed when the page is hidden in a background tab. Animation timers would then specify no, thereby reducing amount of cpu/ battery consumed. GMail could specify yes: low-overhead update of the unread count in background. It would make sense to have the default to be false, and to be the last parameter. ---- - Peter Speck _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
