Since the devs implemented resource loader it has
become
harder and harder to block the poorly developed bloat that has crept into
mediawiki. I used to be able to isolate the JavaScript file causing the
issues (I remember BITS geolocation being a major hog) and just block it.
Now thats not possible any longer.

Slightly off topic, but for this problem at least you could try using ?debug=true which
will turn off that portion of Resource Loader.
Thank you,
