IndexedDB 2.0: Send operations off to the server in batches instead of one at a time

IndexedDB 2.0: Send operations off to the server in batches instead of one at a time

Turns out timer scheduling and/or dispatching to the runloop is expensive.

On a profile of "100,000 writes to an IDB", timer scheduling/firing presented as 10+% of the time.

This patch negates much of that.

GTK build breakage is not because of this patch.

IIRC Ben had an argument against const variables being static. I can't remember it but I think it was about how static variables have to live in their own memory region and therefore have to be a load rather than an immediate.

I assume you are scheduling the operation for the next chunk somewhere else?

"An expert" needs to figure this out for sure, because as is there are 5958 results in 1264 files searching for "static const"
