What are the ways to minimize page wait from external javascript callouts?
<p>What tricks can be used to stop javascript callouts to various online services from slowing down page loading?</p>

<p>The obvious solution is to do all the javascript calls at the bottom of the page, but some calls need to happen at the top and in the middle. Another idea that comes to mind is using iframes. </p>

<p>Have you ever had to untangle a site full of externally loading javascript that is so slow that it does not release apache and causes outages on high load? Any tips and tricks?</p>
