I hate derailing threads, bit doesn't the mobile skin already do this? I
always notice fast loading of articles on my cell phone, and slow section
opening (I figured it was quite clever to defer loading of sections to a
later point in time. For a quick lookup on my cell phone I rarely need to
load all sections anyway)

Amount of data, and *when that data comes in*, are distinct things. One
other change we've got brewing up for the mobile site is to delay loading
of collapsed section content by separating it out to an API request. This
gets you loading the initial page *immediately*, then loads up the rest.
Same amount of data, but the page above the sections is live and visible
and interactive before you load the other stuff.
