Click five times, quickly, on "America". It's slow as all get out. What's more, it halts the browser (tested in FF 14.0.1)
There are several options I can think of:
- Make it faster, so multiple clicks won't matter (much). This is hackish and unreliable.
- Use proper callbacks combined with caching and tracking of requests--if a request already exists for the resource you're trying to get, don't start another one.
- Remove the click event after the first click is fired, and replace it only after the user switches away from that region. This may work best, because it means no other handling, but it's complicated because you'll need to save the function definition, an anonymous function won't work here.
I report this bug knowing nothing about the structure of this extension, so don't think that these are the only options.
