Subject Re: Parsing javascript file off the main thread
From Georg Kothmeier <georgkothmeier@gmail.com>

To clearify what I mean: 

by source, I mean the JavaScript file which is sent to the browser. This is already minified and in ASM.js format. 

By parsing I mean the step which is done by the browser when the JavaScript file is interpreted and compiled to some kind of byte code which then is used by the browser to run the code.

And by "off the main thread" I mean, a mechanism of parsing/compiling which does not block the whole UI. So basically to switch the parsing/compiling to some background thread, away from the main thread.

Does this make sense? If not I'll try to explain it better
