On slow computers with a fast network, web browsers may no longer respond because webtorrent is downloading chunks too fast.
The main issue is that you cannot stream a video torrent: the web browser does not have time to play the video, it is too busy downloading the video chunks.
On web browser supporting requestIdleCallback, we download chunks with a lower priority allowing the web browser to execute other tasks (like playing the video).
