Hi, in implementing the following JavaScript pattern ...
function doSomething (callbackFn [, additional arguments]) {
// Initialize a few things here...
(function () {
// Do a little bit of work here...
if (termination condition) {
// We are done
callbackFn();
} else {
// Process next chunk
setTimeout(arguments.callee, 0);
}
})();
}
... over a large dataset (> 5MB), there is a huge performance
difference between Chrome and the other browsers. I know V8 is
generally faster than the other engines, but I'm curious why it's so
much faster for this particular pattern?
For a detailed explanation of what I was doing, you can read the
following post on my blog --

I'd love to understand this better. Thanks, James
