-Since the "Hogfather" release all JavaScript is only executed after all page content has been loaded. This speeds up the initial page load.
+Usually, loading of JavaScript files (including big libraries like jQuery) pauses loading and assembling of other page resources (HTML/CSS/media/etc.). This slows down the initial page load, sometimes incredibly slows.
-Until all plugins have been adjusted, the behaviour may break the JavaScript of some plugins. If you encounter problems, you can disable the setting to revert to the old, slower behaviour.
