Intrinsically, that's a limitation of the app, which requires that 
regular feedback.
It's not specific to webapps, but to the way Grooveshark (or other 
services) handle client apps.

Instead, it could use the download service to get the next track in the 
background, and be notified once the track is ready to play, pass it on 
to MH,and sleep again.
