Faster javascript page loads

One of the problems with some web 2.0 sites is that they perform a lot of javascript operations when the page loads using the onLoad event. Unfortunately, the onLoad events do not begin until the entire page is loaded, images and all. If the page takes a long time to load, and then the javascript operations take a long time, the page can feel sluggish. Fastinit is an attempt to fix that. It's a javascript class that helps speed up the loading process that occurs during onLoad events. It helps ensure that initialisation functions are called once the browser DOM is ready, not once the entire page is loaded. This allows the javascript initialization events to take place sooner, resulting in a page that feels faster to load.
