[Greasemonkey] Keeping UI responsive

[Aaron Boodman]

That doesn't sound right... no matter how many http requests you send,
by themselves they cannot hang the UI appreciably. The connection
limit will just make them get queued before getting sent.

So it must be either the processing that you do before or after which
causes the problem. What do you do when you get the results? Extensive
DOM or string manipulation? Have you measured how long this takes? You
may need to either optimize this code, or else queue up the work to be
done and then do it in chunks with setTimeout.
