Same HTML page as the live demo

Doing many successive insertions into LocalStorage can cause the page to freeze, with an eternal spinning beach ball and no ability to interact with the page.

I've got a live demo to repro: http://nolanlawson.github.io/database-comparison/

Steps:
1. Choose "LocalStorage"
2. Choose 100000
3. Click "insert docs"
4. Notice that the page is frozen, with a perma-beachball

This bug cannot be reproduced in Edge, Firefox, or Chrome, but I note that Safari is the only browser out of the four to *not* block DOM rendering while LocalStorage operations are ongoing. :)

I'm testing WebKit Nightly, Version 8.0.8 (10600.8.9, r190266)
