[Kimchi-devel] [DOUBT] How to use setTimeout correctly

[Ramon Medeiros]

Hi Cristian, nice to see you here :)

The function getPCIDeviceCompanions tooks almost two second for each 
interation. As this function being called each time that the Edit button 
is accessed, i want to cache the values on kimchi.main() to save time.

On systems that has too much pci devices, a popup from the browser asks 
for quit the page by unresponsible script.
