digitalmars.D - Language and library reference pages very slow to load

eg. http://dlang.org/phobos/core_memory.html is so slow it causes 
Mozilla Firefox to pop up the page not responding box.  I have 
also tried Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 and Safari on Mac OS 
X 10.8.4 and got similar results.

I wonder if it's possible to move this to the server side given 
the documents are mostly static contents.

My guess is that this is caused either by hyphenate.js or
hyphenate-selectively.js, both of which, thankfully, will be going away
once dlang.org is updated (their removal has already been merged into
git HEAD).

In the meantime, one option is to disable JS on dlang.org (that's what I
do, and it makes the site much more usable).

Wasn't JS hyphenation only removed for browsers that support hyphenation 
at CSS level?

I hope not. We really don't need the hyphenation. I know you like it,
but I have yet to see one other person who cares about it. Plus,
loading speed is far more important anyway.

If that's the case, then it should be completely removed. Let CSS
hyphenation take care of the case where browsers actually support it.
Please, *please* let's not go back to JS hyphenation. We've gotten
nothing but an endless stream of complaints about it over the last
couple o' months (or more). People are having trouble browsing dlang.org
because it's either too slow, or their browsers pop up warnings about
long-running scripts, and all for what? Some textual cosmetics? What a
perfect way to turn people off D.

Well, looks like I missed 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/367.

I have a pull request on github that should fix that.
