The library itself is nice, but I feel the need to ask - why the hell does this have a jQuery dependency? jQuery exists primarily to plug the holes/inefficiencies in older browsers, but this thing isn't guaranteed to work in older browsers due to its reliance on web workers in the first place. There's nothing wrong with standard Javascript provided the environment is sane.
