2. Second run counts: `i=1000001..2000000`.
3. ...and so on.
Now, if a new side task (e.g. `onclick` event) appears while the engine is busy executing part 1, it gets queued and then executes when part 1 finished, before the next part. Periodic returns to event loop between `count` executions provide just enough "air" for the JavaScript engine to do something else, to react on other user actions.

The notable thing is that both variants -- with and without splitting the job by `setTimeout` -- are comparable in speed. There's no much difference in the overall counting time.

To make them closer, let's make an improvement.
