I decided to add in throttling functionality to the jquery bindWithDelay plugin. This is a nice feature that didn’t require very many changes to the code (see the: diff).

What is throttling?

Imagine you are scrolling down a long page for 3 seconds and you have bindWithDelay running with a timeout of 1000ms. By default, your event will only fire a second after you have completely finished scrolling. If you have the optional throttling on, it will fire once per second during the scrolling - a total of 3 times instead of 1.

Checkout the throttling demo to see what it is doing.
