Just wondering if its worth it to make a monolithic loop function or just add loops were they're needed.

The big loop option would just be a loop of callbacks that are added dynamically with an add function.

adding a function would look like this

setLoop(function(){
    alert('hahaha! I\'m a really annoying loop that bugs you every tenth of a second');
});

setLoop would add the function to the monolithic loop.

so is the is worth anything in performance or should I just stick to lots of little loops using setInterval?
