Split the Initial Payload; Why are we sending all JavaScript down in one go

Steve Souders has another insightful post where he discusses splitting the initial payload for the JavaScript in your page / application. Steve first outlines how JavaScript can affect how the browser renders a page: The growing adoption of Ajax and DHTML means today’s web pages have more JavaScript than ever before. The average top ten U.S. web site[1] contains 252K of JavaScript. JavaScript slows pages down. When the browser starts downloading or executing JavaScript it won’t start any other parallel downloads. Also, anything below an external script is not rendered until the script is completely downloaded and executed.
