requestAnimationFrame may be too frequent in the foreground (could effect performance?), and not necessarily 0 in the background.

That repaint may occur up to 60 times per second for foreground tabs (the exact rate is up to the browser to decide), but may be reduced to a lower rate in background tabs.
