Waht kind of reality is that and what does it have to do with the
<synchronized> issue? Did you try:

function f1() {
 f2()
}

function f2() {
 // doing something quicklier
 // or faster than f1
}

P.S. Just knocked on me that this is that Matt - AJAX library inventor.
I would suggest then to read asap about *piper* input / output streams
in Java - why are they, how are they implemented and how could one
mimic them in JavaScript. That would solve a great amount of the
reported/incoming instability issues.
