Speed up Safari page load times by disabling JavaScript
Authored by: nickfitz on Oct 14, '03 10:53:57AM

FWIW, one of the problems is probably

http://www.startribune.com/style/scripts/s_code.js
which does an inordinate amount of string manipulation for the apparent purpose of link tracking. On story pages,
http://www.startribune.com/style/style_exceptions.js
is used to write out a CSS stylesheet in a way that accounts for different browsers, which is probably a bit of a performance killer.

IMHO, those pages are using lots of JavaScript to do stuff that could be done more efficiently on the server.
