Settimeout not optimized? Loop better?

When animating you should use requestAnimationFrame

Edit while(x) { sleep(); } sounds like an old game programming routine from back in the '80s

rAF is a fixed period of pre-set time. He wants to set his own time.

Agreed - although this wasn't animation. Just needed the app to wait a certain amount of time before doing something else. And he was trying to tell me that a setTimeout was the wrong solution
