asynchronous scripts now move to timers, so they can run even after the page is loaded. You don't have to wait for them. This might make a few sites faster, though that is not clear. Not clear if it is even correct: maybe they're suppose to finish before onload and onDOMContentLoaded and onreadystatechange etc. If we don't like it we can turn it off by int asyncTimer = 0; in html.c Karl Dahlke
