why use rAF of useEffect but not setTimeout about dyo

[thysultan]

useEffect will happen after layout but before paint in dyo, this can change in the future: I think React uses requestionAnimationFrame and postMessage*, what did you opt to use in fre?

[yisar]

I use Message Channel in fre, which is equivalent to setTimeout, but it does not waste at least 4ms of time.

As far as I know, requestAnimationFrame will be paused when running in background tabs,
but I don't know weather it is a drawback or not.

If you want to execute after "paint" wouldn't you still need to invoke the Message Channel within a requestAnimationFrame?

I have modified it. Now it uses the requestAnimationFrame, too.
But I don't have a good reason. It's probably the closest to react. What do you think?

[thysultan]

I was thinking more along the lines of:

requestAnimationFrame(() => port2.postMessage(null))

@thysultan #124 From this issue, using the requestanimationframe is just fine.

To be honest, I'm not sure when the effect will be execute. Maybe we need a good summary.
