 ### When Mithril does not redraws
 
-Mithril does not redraw after 3rd party library event handlers. In those cases, you must manually call [`m.redraw()`](redraw.md).
+Mithril does not redraw after `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, `requestAnimationFrame` and 3rd party library event handlers (e.g. Socket.io callbacks). In those cases, you must manually call [`m.redraw()`](redraw.md).
 
 Mithril also does not redraw after lifecycle methods. This is because lifecycle methods run within the redraw cycle and allowing a nested redraw to run could cause loss of stability or even stack overflows. If you need to trigger a redraw within a lifecycle method, you should call `m.redraw` from within the callback of an asynchronous function such as `requestAnimationFrame`, `Promise.resolve` or `setTimeout`.

+Typically, `m.redraw` triggers an asynchronous redraws, but it may trigger synchronously if Mithril detects it's possible to improves performance by doing so. You should write code assuming that it always redraws asynchronously.

 To trigger a redraw, call `m.redraw()`. Note that `m.redraw` only works if you used `m.mount` or `m.route`. If you rendered via `m.render`, you should use `m.render` to redraw.
