We have a large amount of content in our timeline. It can take up to 30 seconds to load on first view. Is there a way to have the timeline wait to load/display the content of the year sections until they are displayed? I have seen sites that don't load images until they are scrolled down to. I would like to see this ability with the timeline year sections. I am trying to make this happen with AJAX, but currently the $mf_timeline->get_timeline() pulls in the entire thing. If it could call get_timeline('2006') or something, so that you'd only get the 2006 portion of the timeline, that'd be more digestible and easier to configure with ajax.

Does that make sense? If you are trying to make this like the Facebook timeline, this is a must-have functionality! Also, I would love to have my timeline page load faster too!
