Description Timothy Hatcher 2023-10-17 15:00:57 PDT 
Right now we disable timer throttling, and running board suspension / throttling by setting these properties:

    preferences._hiddenPageDOMTimerThrottlingEnabled = NO;
    preferences._pageVisibilityBasedProcessSuppressionEnabled = NO;
    preferences.inactiveSchedulingPolicy = WKInactiveSchedulingPolicyNone;

We should investigate ways to allow this suspension / throttling to happen and wake the background page up as needed (when events need to fire, etc).
