that they can be used to compute stuff locally
I imagine ideally we want user choice of where the computation is happening. if on a mobile device I'd save battery in exchange for network latency
but in a desktop computer I'd rather do as most local computation as I can

- jonahx 2y agoI'm not asking about web workers generally. I'm specifically asking about their use as a client side cache as described in the article.
- plorkyeran 2y agoFor the sort of thing that are fast enough that network latency is relevant, on a mobile device you save battery by doing them locally. The radio takes more power than the cpu.
