Debouncing is a similar strategy to throttling (see yui-throttle)

`Y.debounce` delays the execution of a function by a certain number
of milliseconds, starting over every time the function is called.
That way it allows you to listen only once to events happening
repeated times over a time span.

For example, you can debounce a callback to a keypress event so that you know when a user stopped typing:

Code Sample

<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.10.0/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>

YUI({
    //Last Gallery Build of this module
    gallery: 'gallery-2013.05.15-21-12'
}).use('gallery-debounce', function(Y) {
 
    // You'll only get notified if the user stops typing (or types really slow)
    Y.one('input').on('keypress', Y.debounce(500, function () {
        alert('The user stopped typing');
    }));
 
});
