Couple stupid questions: When you get an edit conflict, why does the entire page load instead of the relevant section?
Because section boundaries, names and numbers can change between versions. I'm not sure if there's a reason why it doesn't detect whether or not the sections have changed and only display the whole page when necessary - it may just be that no-one has written the appropriate code, yet.
Also, do .js scripts effect the speed of an edit conflict load?
No idea. I can't see why they would (not to the extent of 20-30 seconds, anyway), but there are so many scripts out there doing so many things that anything is possible.
