Unfortunately, none of the last version of famous browsers such as Internet Explorer (8), Chrome (3.0.195.38), and Mozilla Firefox (3.5.6) blocks this script. Moreover, it takes more than 50% of my CPU which is Intel Core 2 Dou 2.50 GHz.
And the worst one is Mozilla Firefox which stops working after running this script instead of showing a page to stop the script.
This script is:

<script>
function recursiveFunc(){setInterval(“recursiveFunc()”,1);}
recursiveFunc();
</script>

Just save it as an HTML file, and try to open it with your browsers. You can convert “1” to “0” to get better result in Mozilla Firefox and Chrome.
I reported it to Mozilla Firefox as a bug.
Good luck.
