Locks speed #6

Open puzrin opened 9 years ago

puzrin commented 9 years ago

localStorage does NOT guarantee events delivery to another tabs in soome cases like IOS Chrome. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11283777/localstorage-event-does-not-work-in-uiwebview
we have to use timeouts ~30ms (polling) to be sure that different tabs are in sync

Problem

current locks are very slow
can be done better via SharedWorker, but it's not supported well

Ideas? (WebSQL / indexedDB would be overkill for solution)
