I'm using head.load.min.js, version 0.96 and here are some results:

http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120109_EE_2SXDT/ (IE9)
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120109_NE_2SXE2/ (Chrome)
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120109_GW_2SXE9/ (FF)

I execute head.js as folllows, just before

:

head.js({"janrain" : "http://widget-cdn.rpxnow.com/js/lib/simplemappr/engage.js"},{"jquery" : "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"},{"ga" : "http://google-analytics.com/ga.js"},{"compiled" : "public/javascript/cache/d9c86b81823728f2ce8e68fdb76a36dc.js"});
head.ready(function() { $.extend(Mappr.settings, { "baseUrl" : "http://www.simplemappr.net", "active" : "false"}); });

Have I missed something that would cause Chrome and FF to be so relatively sluggish and NOT wait until the document is complete before loading all the js files as does IE9?
