Prevent long running javascript from locking up browser
<p>I have JavaScript which performs a whole lot of calculations as well as reading/writing values from/to the DOM. The page is huge so this often ends up locking the browser for up to a minute (sometimes longer with IE) with 100% CPU usage.</p>

<p>Are there any resources on optimising JavaScript to prevent this from happening (all I can find is how to turn off Firefox's long running script warning)?</p>
