1373597 - Extend nsIIdleRunnable with method to be able to give an estimation of running time

Status: NEW

Description

[Andreas Farre [:farre]]

This could allow us to schedule "small" runnables even though the idle period is short.

I'm thinking

class nsIIdleRunnable
{
public:
  TimeDuration GetExecutionTimeEstimate() { ...}
}

And schedule slow runnables without them need to check that there is long enough period to do the work.
