遗憾的是，WebWorkers 尚未在每个人的浏览器上都可用。我一直在使用“setTimeout(Func,0);”把戏大约一年。这是我最近写的一些研究来解释如何加快速度。如果您只是想要答案，请跳至第 4 步。第 1 步 2 和 3 解释推理和机制；
// In Depth Analysis of the setTimeout(Func,0) trick.
//////// setTimeout(Func,0) Step 1 ////////////
// setTimeout and setInterval impose a minimum
// time limit of about 2 to 10 milliseconds.
console.log("start");
var workCounter=0;
var WorkHard = function()
{
if(workCounter>=2000) {console.log("done"); return;}
workCounter++;
setTimeout(WorkHard,0);
};
// this take about 9 seconds
// that works out to be about 4.5ms per iteration
// Now there is a subtle rule here that you can tweak
// This minimum is counted from the time the setTimeout was executed.
// THEREFORE:
console.log("start");
var workCounter=0;
var WorkHard = function()
{
if(workCounter>=2000) {console.log("done"); return;}
setTimeout(WorkHard,0);
workCounter++;
};
// This code is slightly faster because we register the setTimeout
// a line of code earlier. Actually, the speed difference is immesurable
// in this case, but the concept is true. Step 2 shows a measurable example.
///////////////////////////////////////////////
//////// setTimeout(Func,0) Step 2 ////////////
// Here is a measurable example of the concept covered in Step 1.
var StartWork = function()
{
console.log("start");
var startTime = new Date();
var workCounter=0;
var sum=0;
var WorkHard = function()
{
if(workCounter>=2000)
{
var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime.getTime();
console.log("done: sum=" + sum + " time=" + ms + "ms");
return;
}
for(var i=0; i<1500000; i++) {sum++;}
workCounter++;
setTimeout(WorkHard,0);
};
WorkHard();
};
// This adds some difficulty to the work instead of just incrementing a number
// This prints "done: sum=3000000000 time=18809ms".
// So it took 18.8 seconds.
var StartWork = function()
{
console.log("start");
var startTime = new Date();
var workCounter=0;
var sum=0;
var WorkHard = function()
{
if(workCounter>=2000)
{
var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime.getTime();
console.log("done: sum=" + sum + " time=" + ms + "ms");
return;
}
setTimeout(WorkHard,0);
for(var i=0; i<1500000; i++) {sum++;}
workCounter++;
};
WorkHard();
};
// Now, as we planned, we move the setTimeout to before the difficult part
// This prints: "done: sum=3000000000 time=12680ms"
// So it took 12.6 seconds. With a little math, (18.8-12.6)/2000 = 3.1ms
// We have effectively shaved off 3.1ms of the original 4.5ms of dead time.
// Assuming some of that time may be attributed to function calls and variable
// instantiations, we have eliminated the wait time imposed by setTimeout.
// LESSON LEARNED: If you want to use the setTimeout(Func,0) trick with high
// performance in mind, make sure your function takes more than 4.5ms, and set
// the next timeout at the start of your function, instead of the end.
///////////////////////////////////////////////
//////// setTimeout(Func,0) Step 3 ////////////
// The results of Step 2 are very educational, but it doesn't really tell us how to apply the
// concept to the real world. Step 2 says "make sure your function takes more than 4.5ms".
// No one makes functions that take 4.5ms. Functions either take a few microseconds,
// or several seconds, or several minutes. This magic 4.5ms is unattainable.
// To solve the problem, we introduce the concept of "Burn Time".
// Lets assume that you can break up your difficult function into pieces that take
// a few milliseconds or less to complete. Then the concept of Burn Time says,
// "crunch several of the individual pieces until we reach 4.5ms, then exit"
// Step 1 shows a function that is asyncronous, but takes 9 seconds to run. In reality
// we could have easilly incremented workCounter 2000 times in under a millisecond.
// So, duh, that should not be made asyncronous, its horrible. But what if you don't know
// how many times you need to increment the number, maybe you need to run the loop 20 times,
// maybe you need to run the loop 2 billion times.
console.log("start");
var startTime = new Date();
var workCounter=0;
for(var i=0; i<2000000000; i++) // 2 billion
{
workCounter++;
}
var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime.getTime();
console.log("done: workCounter=" + workCounter + " time=" + ms + "ms");
// prints: "done: workCounter=2000000000 time=7214ms"
// So it took 7.2 seconds. Can we break this up into smaller pieces? Yes.
// I know, this is a retarded example, bear with me.
console.log("start");
var startTime = new Date();
var workCounter=0;
var each = function()
{
workCounter++;
};
for(var i=0; i<20000000; i++) // 20 million
{
each();
}
var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime.getTime();
console.log("done: workCounter=" + workCounter + " time=" + ms + "ms");
// The easiest way is to break it up into 2 billion smaller pieces, each of which take
// only several picoseconds to run. Ok, actually, I am reducing the number from 2 billion
// to 20 million (100x less). Just adding a function call increases the complexity of the loop
// 100 fold. Good lesson for some other topic.
// prints: "done: workCounter=20000000 time=7648ms"
// So it took 7.6 seconds, thats a good starting point.
// Now, lets sprinkle in the async part with the burn concept
console.log("start");
var startTime = new Date();
var workCounter=0;
var index=0;
var end = 20000000;
var each = function()
{
workCounter++;
};
var Work = function()
{
var burnTimeout = new Date();
burnTimeout.setTime(burnTimeout.getTime() + 4.5); // burnTimeout set to 4.5ms in the future
while((new Date()) < burnTimeout)
{
if(index>=end)
{
var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime.getTime();
console.log("done: workCounter=" + workCounter + " time=" + ms + "ms");
return;
}
each();
index++;
}
setTimeout(Work,0);
};
// prints "done: workCounter=20000000 time=107119ms"
// Sweet Jesus, I increased my 7.6 second function to 107.1 seconds.
// But it does prevent the browser from locking up, So i guess thats a plus.
// Again, the actual objective here is just to increment workCounter, so the overhead of all
// the async garbage is huge in comparison.
// Anyway, Lets start by taking advice from Step 2 and move the setTimeout above the hard part.
console.log("start");
var startTime = new Date();
var workCounter=0;
var index=0;
var end = 20000000;
var each = function()
{
workCounter++;

var ms = (new Date()).getTime() - startTime.getTime();
console.log("done: workCounter=" + workCounter + " time=" + ms + "ms");
return;
}
each();
index++;
}
};
// This means we also have to check index right away because the last iteration will have nothing to do
// prints "done: workCounter=20000000 time=52892ms"
// So, it took 52.8 seconds. Improvement, but way slower than the native 7.6 seconds.
// The Burn Time is the number you tweak to get a nice balance between native loop speed
// and browser responsiveness. Lets change it from 4.5ms to 50ms, because we don't really need faster
// than 50ms gui response.

}
};
// prints "done: workCounter=20000000 time=52272ms"
// So it took 52.2 seconds. No real improvement here which proves that the imposed limits of setTimeout

// You can still use the concept here, but your "each" function should also have a for loop in it
