prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
I have a JavaScript function that renders thousands of list items and freezes the page. Show me how to wrap it with workshy so it runs across multiple frames instead.
prompt 2
Explain how workshy's priority queue works when the same wrapped function is called multiple times in quick succession.
prompt 3
I want to force one specific workshy task to run immediately instead of waiting in the queue. Show me how to do that.
prompt 4
Write a small example using workshy to update a real-time chart with a high-frequency stream of data points without blocking the main thread.
