# x10.js

Using __x10.js__, long-running scripts can run in a dedicated thread and thereby have a non-blocking effect on the UI-thread. In Firefox and Safari, scripts in the dedicated thread runs even faster than in UI-thread (in some cases, ten times faster).

The interface of __x10.js__ is very easy and migrating to / from __x10.js__ have minimal impact on your code.

```js

var obj = {

		loop: function(len) {

			while (len--) {}

		}

	};

// UI thread IS blocked when executing this

var start = Date.now();

obj.loop(100000000);

console.log( Date.now() - start );

// 990 milliseconds

// compile the object with 'x10.js'

var task = x10.compile(obj);

// worker thread - UI thread is NOT blocked when executing this

start = Date.now();

task.loop(100000000, function() {

	console.log( Date.now() - start );

	// 146 milliseconds

});

```
