When using setTimeout or setInterval the delay between function calls has increased in relation to Firefox 2. The increase has gone similarly to the folowing: - setTimeout/setInterval, 0ms (was 10ms, is now 15ms) - setTimeout/setInterval, 10ms (was 10ms, is now 15ms) - setTimeout, 20ms (was 20ms, is now 25ms) See the following graphs for context: http://ejohn.org/files/timers-0.png http://ejohn.org/files/timers-10.png http://ejohn.org/files/timers-20.png http://ejohn.org/files/intervals-0.png http://ejohn.org/files/intervals-10.png and the blog post in the URL. The expected result is that the delays would be the same as in the previous version of Firefox and roughly correlate to the desired delay (instead of there being an artificial delay). I'm working on pulling together timer log data to accompany this bug.

Fixed in the nightlies: http://ejohn.org/files/ff3-timers.png (left column is 0, 10, 15ms setInterval, right column is 0, 10, 15ms setTimeout)
