The w3c doesn't mention any limitation (see http://www.w3.org/TR/workers/)

But it depends on what you are wanting to do, the limit will be the computer on which you will run the app (be kind with your users).

Yes and no. With Web Workers, there's no hard limit but you are limited by the available CPU and memory.

There's a rather large amount of CPU and memory overhead that comes with each worker so you can bring the machine to a grind if you spin off a lot of workers.

I'd say Web Workers are best used for "long running" background tasks of 100 milliseconds or more.
