This happens to me quite often because I have pinned the Threema Web tab in Firefox and I only close it if I have to restart my system which usually happens only one or two times a month. |

Bug Description
I noticed while typing that once in a while (every few seconds) Threema Web would slow down (as in.. stop doing anything) and later "catch up" (in the case of typing, the characters previously typed would appear).
I wondered what was going on, stepped into the profiler and noticed a huge gap. investigating this further I found out, that there was a GC running. (I started typing around the 4.8 seconds mark)
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
This is now complicated, because the problem doesn't persist on a new tab. It only happens when the tab is open for quite some time, I will fill you in, if i figured out the time span. Please tell me, if you need further information, I have the profiling log, resulting in the screenshot, saved.
Potential Solution
Unfortunately I don't know the internals of Firefox' GC. (And neither do I know the internals of this code)
