Script speedup: Running functions asynchronously
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008This is something I’ve seen a long time ago, but never actually had the script for. If you’ve got a slow process in your loop, for example:
for (var i=0;i<jedarray .length;i++) {
reallySlowFunction("bob", "ted", fredObj, jedArray[i]);
}
You can just throw the function off to my function be executed in its own little time, and your loop can carry on.
for (var i=0;i<jedArray.length;i++) {
setAsync(reallySlowFunction, ["bob", "ted", fredObj, jedArray[i]] );
}
Much faster! (more…)
