Performance test of message passing between the main thread and a service- or web-worker.
This tests creates a service- and a web-worker and measures the duration between sending a "ping" message and receiving a "pong" message from the worker. An additional test sends a payload back and forth. The payload is a string with roughly 5300 characters.
These results have been gathered on a MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) 2,5 GHz Intel Core i7 running OSX 10.11.4 executing 100.000 iterations
