In a background window: animation video audio work queues for database or other background processing something interesting the web hasn't invented yet To give you some context, Safari used to throttle plug-in timers for background windows. The result was that users would see randomly choppy content. In a background tab: audio work queues for database or other background processing something interesting the web hasn't invented yet Also note that protections for background windows and tabs wouldn't solve the majority of the problem we've seen in the wild, which is the *foreground* window going crazy in a single-tabbed browsing session.
