JavaScript stack overflow solution

Question

I want to write something like this:
function f(){
//something
setTimeout(f,x);
}
I'm using setTimeout becouse I want to repeat the function again and again, so I'm afraid of stack overflow. But, what value I ought to write instand of x, if I want to be sure that the code will run at old computers, too, but I want the smallest interval of repeating?

Answer 1

You might want something like:
window.requestAnimationFrame(f);

This is especially used in animations, where easier to load animations will be loaded faster while intensive animations load slower.
