Is there much to gain in running ajax requests in web workers?

You could load your data and have it processed while other assets are still loading. Later the same worker would liberate the UI-thread from model-jobs and keep the UI responsive.

See "Example 4" at http://www.masswerk.at/plexer for an example.

Sencha uses web workers for ajax calls to move it away from the UI thread, for its Fastbook web app http://www.sencha.com/blog/the-making-of-fastbook-an-html5-l...
