I'm sitting here typing into a regular textarea waiting for the rich text editor script to be invoked. It takes about 30 seconds. There it goes.
Why is this editor so dang slow to load? It's ridiculous. Might have something to do with the umteen references to WebResource.axd. Something needs to be done about this!

I agree with you , Its very slow and it takes a long time especially when the forums server is busy( on Monday and Tuesday )
Also the download time depends on the Internet connection speed and maybe on the user country .
I checked the response code for the Images and scripts and noticed that when the editor loaded for the first time , the response code was 200 , which means that the files downloaded on the client,and after the first load the response code was "304" which
means that the files is not modified and doesn't needs to downloaded ! and that's a correct and expected behavior. Nevertheless ,the Editor is slow and needs some performance enhancements.
One possible enhancement is to combine all the Editor icons into a one Image , and use the style sheet and JavaScript on the client side to display and split the image into icons ( its doable , i remember i saw something like that before ), Also the scripts
must be combined into a one file .

Try to clear the browser cache and repeat the test.
I think its also related to internet connection speed , and for me its slow ( about 256 kb/s ADSL),
Sometimes it takes 3 minutes to see the editor ! and sometimes i reply to the thread by writing all the HTML by hand , because the editor doesn't load .
That has never happened to me but it takes also longer than 4 seconds for me. Sometimes I also like to use the Quick reply link to reply to a post. Usually this is faster for me.

I hardly if ever use the emoticons - I would therefore support a request to have them removed if that would speed up the editor.

The wait time depends on cache on route.

Same thing happens here...The Editor takes a couple of seconds and sometime minutes to load ..
One possible reason that I could think is the Emoticons being used in this editor...
