[jQuery] Best way to emulate a marquee (scrolling text)?


Hi, to start learning the APIs of jquery, I've tried doing some tests,
among them a way to simulate a marquee. It kinda works pretty well,
but as it has to be in a recursive function to continue scrolling
after the position is reset, it tends to hog my CPU (using like up to
20% CPU on my 8 month old macbook). Is there any other way I could
accomplish the same without an endless recursive function?
