Firing many timers is gonna hurt the memory and performance. And using hardcoded delays makes the duration of the animations depend on a specific speed. This is doomed to ruin the user experience on any machine/device significantly slower/faster than that of the developer. Always prefer having a single setInterval( updateAnimation, delay ) and define your animations' duration in ms. This way, they will run at the same speed on any machine/device. [/quote] Could you please explain why one setInterval beats multiple setTimeouts (each one fired after the other has stopped) a little more or were you talking about a situation slightly different than this?
