alteredq e08434c183 Reworked binary format / BinaryLoader / OBJ converter to use binary ajax fetch.
It was quite a pain - ArrayBuffers / Typed Arrays are fussy about byte alignment - but seems to be worth it.

Parsing times are down (modest gains for small objects / Firefox, bigger gains for large objects / Chrome, performance gains from 10% - 200%).

Also as a positive side effect, changing interleaved face arrays into uniform arrays seems to have helped a bit with gzip compression (about 6% smaller size for gzipped 526K Lucy).

alteredq d2cad69664 Started to remove workers from the asset pipeline.
Work-in-progress => do not merge yet.

OBJ converter, JSONLoader, BinaryLoader and some examples are done. Still need to do Blender exporter, SceneLoader and more examples.

Advantages:

- faster parse times
- bypass array initializer size limit in Firefox
- no more crashes in Chrome 15 (caused by too many concurrently active workers)

Disadvantages:

- more browser UI freezing
- multiple models tend to appear all at once with the last one (instead of popping up progressively)
