you're absolutely right - this is just a way to execute function once
after given time. one can extend this code to something like this:
var bool = true;
function mystart(){
bool = false;
clearInterval(intrvl);
}
var intrvl = setInterval(mystart,2000);
while(bool){
// do noting
}
// here the rest of the code
but there is still some execution going on in the "while" loop
