Currently for every call to
updateViewarea
,ViewHistory.set
is called five times, which means that thedatabase
is converted to a string and written to storage five times in succession.This PR adds a method,
setMultiple
, that sets all values before thedatabase
is written to storage.Generally the value of micro-benchmarks can be questioned, but to get at least some confirmation that this PR is meaningful I've tried comparing the current code with this patch: http://jsperf.com/viewhistory.
Based on the consistency of the results across various browsers, it seems probable that this PR does reduce the time taken to update the history.
