Out of curiosity where do you get the balance at this fast rate? Or maybe you just wait for a click on the pause button and then hit an API for balance?

It's doing a batch request to blockchain.info to check the balance. So I generate 100 addresses, fetch them, then show them 1 by one in the UI. Then fetch 100 more in the background. This is mostly to prevent rate-limiting.
