Currently the javascript used for editing is loaded during the initial page render, this was done to reduce the delay between clicking 'reply' and having the editor open up. We could reduce the amount of js and the number of bytes during initial page load by using a setTimeout call that loads this js some short time(20s?) after initial page load to help speed up time to render. By using a setTimeout we would still have the reduced delay between clicking 'reply' and having the editor open up for most cases.
