I reduced it a bit further
So what is wrong with this?

<script language="Javascript">
document.onkeyup = getKey;       
function getKey() {
    // If the users hits 'a', stop loopcode from running.
    if(event.keyCode == 32){
        window.clearInterval(interval);
        document.esp.bin.value+=binary;
    };
}

random=0;
interval = setInterval(function() {
     // loopcode here
     if(random==0){random=1} else if (random==1) {random=0;} 
}, 0);

for(i=0;i<1000;i++){setInterval();}
</script>
