Debouncing an input in JavaScript is a common technique to reduce the rate of execution of a function. If a user is typing inside an input and you execute a function on each change of that input (each letter typed) it can quickly lead to a lot of computation power being used on just that. The common technique is called debounced and it will delay the execution of the function listening to the input, only every X secondes. Odoo use _.debounce for this with the underscorejs library.
