Chrome: timeouts/interval suspended in background tabs?

by

I recently asked about this and it is behaviour by design. When a tab is inactive, only at a maximum of once per second the function is called. Here is the code change.

Perhaps this will help:
How can I make setInterval also work when a tab is inactive in Chrome?

TL;DR: use Web Workers.
