I like building the memoization right into the function, using the fact that a function is an object that can have properties.

@ doomedlung: I tried creating a method for that. It accepts any number of arguments as long as those arguments has a string representation. If you can imporve it please let me know.

You can find it at http://www.jslab.dk/library/Function.memoize

I did a “more generic” version of a memoization function not so long ago, if someone’s interested.

Just out of interest, regarding the Zakas “schedule” example how would I pass parameters to each function.

dejavu … and in my “Stressfull procedure? Distribute your task!” entry I implemented the delay and the in-line or propagated scope.
The result with the queue callbacks stack is a slower application that is more responsive instead of a “not that quick” one that is stuck till the end of the loop. As summary, a slower execution for a faster, non modal, interaction, sounds weird, doesn’t it? :D
