Does Javascript SetTimeOut Affect Page Performance?
<p>I am writing an AJAX script that basically calls a PHP page and requests some information. The PHP page queries a database. I want to set the page to make the call every 5 minutes, but the only way I know how to do so is by using the settimeout function. I am wondering if this settimeout function is constantly running is this going to be harsh on the page's performance? is there another way to go about this?</p>
