Load the lead section and references first, then load the other sections in the
background or on demand. This will decrease
time-to-usable-information-on-screen considerably.

Wouldn't this also avoid loading, say, images until they're needed? Sounds like a real winner.

Merged by brion! Should head to the Wikipedia app beta tomorrow on Play.
