Slow Page Loading Times for WCM Site ?

If you're developing a WCM site (i.e. internet facing) then you may notice that pages within the site are slow to load.

An excellent post by the Microsoft ECM team can be found here which details a workaround - it turns out that a large portion of the page load time is due to the download of the core.js file. The article described a workaround to allow the core.js to load in the background once the page content has loaded.
