Web Workers are now available in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4 (Chrome will
follow soon):

However, there are some limitations (mostly due to thread safety) which
make them seem less appealing for TiddlyWiki:
* code has to be loaded from a JavaScript file
* no access to the DOM
While one could imagine workarounds for both issues - e.g. creating
temporary files with the respective source code, passing raw HTML or a
list of objects for wikification - the overhead would probably
neutralize any advantages.
