Where selfishness is good™

Anyone have problems with too much kilobyte overhead delaying their javascript from loading? Does your window.onload function wait 15 seconds to initiate? This is a very simple solution… however, with small pages such as this one, you will not notice much improvements. The page must be slower than 10ms in order for the speed to improve. It especially helps for elements closer to the top of the page.

Example:

vs.

In this example the 1st number is the quicker onload speed, the 2nd is the window.onload

JAVASCRIPT

function $(v) { return(document.getElementById(v)); }
function init() { $('example').innerHTML=(time()-loadTime)+'ms'; }
function time() { return(new Date().getTime()); }
function quick() {
    if(!$('example')) {
        if(time()-loadTime<=5000) setTimeout("quick()",50);
        else window.onload=init;
    }
    else init();    
}

var loadTime=time();

setTimeout("quick()",10);

Have ideas for code changes?
