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.
