Smallest timeout value (v39)

Revision 39 of this benchmark created by Abhisek Pattnaik on

Description

The smallest setTimeout timeout value allowed by the HTML5 specification is 4 ms. Smaller values should clamp to 4 ms.

Therefore, the first two tests below should have about the same result.

P.S. Some browsers freak out when you use a value greater than 599147937791 for the timeout (i.e. they use 0 or 4 ms instead), hence the last test.
