/**
 * This function uses the Page Visibility API to puase/restart the timeout such that
 * the time you specify equates to "visibility time".
 * Note: There is no clearTimeout capability - though it would not be hard to extend this to
 * 	provide cancel-ability
 *
 * Usage:
 * setVisiTimeout(function, ms, arg1, arg2, ... );

// See http://www.bluejava.com/4NS/Speed-up-your-Websites-with-a-Faster-setTimeout-using-soon
// This is a very fast "asynchronous" flow control - i.e. it yields the thread and executes later,
// but not much later. It is far faster and lighter than using setTimeout(fn,0) for yielding threads.
// Its also faster than other setImmediate shims, as it uses Mutation Observer and "mainlines" successive
// calls internally.
// WARNING: This does not yield to the browser UI loop, so by using this repeatedly
// 		you can starve the UI and be unresponsive to the user.
// This is an even FASTER version of https://gist.github.com/bluejava/9b9542d1da2a164d0456 that gives up
// passing context and arguments, in exchange for a 25x speed increase. (Use anon function to pass context/args)
