listen
stores the controller's previous value and only callsupdateDisplay
if the value has changed. Should alleviate #35.Originally I thought that redundant assignments to an HTML input's
value
were free, and that the bottleneck was each controller making its own animation frame request. It turns out consolidating the loops didn't really have an impact on performance.With this PR,
listen
has negligible performance impact until values actually change: I'm able to add 1000 non-updating (yet listening) controllers in the newexamples/listen-stress
demo without dropping frames (2018 MPB). I'm able to get around 80 continuously updating controllers, but I think this bottleneck is browser-side.
