In theory it's possible to break up long running operations into small chunks and schedule them between frames. In practice it's a lot of work and the only people who bother are game developers. Most app developers just don't care at all if they have a 100ms pause. If you point it out to them they'll just tell you that 100ms is nothing and nobody will notice, they have better things to do than fix 100ms pauses. And so all apps are janky. > Is this just a batteries-included way of forcing the thread separation between logic and drawing? It's not possible to draw canvases on multiple threads without this. So it's about enabling, not just forcing. Enabling multiple threads is a big deal because every device has multiple cores these days and the web is mostly using only one.
