Moving discussion to Chromium-dev, where this should have been to begin with. We didn't cave on anything; we're working on making the browser work well. The fact is that we were seeing CPU spinning on some sites which is annoying users. One such site is nytimes.com, which is clearly a tier-1 site. To ignore this case doesn't seem like a good idea.
Moving the throttle from 1ms to 4ms is somewhat arbitrary. 3ms would have also alleviated the CPU issue for most machines; I chose 4 to give us breathing room on slower machines. So rather than thinking of this as "caving", I actually think its been a huge success. If we had not ratcheted down to 1ms, other vendors would probably be leaving things alone. Instead, everyone has re-visited the issue, and is looking to follow Chrome going forward. The fact that we had to step back from 1ms to 4ms is relatively minor, and I think we'll be able to bring this down further in the future.
