Javascript classes weighing down your site?

I have been using the jquery class and some of the user interface tools that are available for it and I have notices my site is taking a little longer to load. Something to keep in mind when you are using these classes is this can take up a bit of the users CPU and memory because javascript is client side. So if the user has has slow or older computer it might be a little tedious for them. I would suggest only using the code that you are actually using. If you have any other javascript libraries that aren’t being used make sure you don’t include them. A lot of people will use an include for the meta data and all the pages are getting the same javascript files. Make sure you are only including the files on pages where the script is being used!
