The jQuery source features uses of setTimeout with both 0 and 1 as second argument. I\'m under the impression that they both mean &quo
setTimeout has a minimum timeout of 4ms. So there is actually no difference between the two.
If the currently running task is a task that was created by the setTimeout() method, and timeout is less than 4, then increase timeout to 4.
Spec
EDIT: As pointed out by Ahmad in the comments, the spec has changed now, so the answer would currently be, "It depends."
