title: ScriptManager does not honour LoadScriptsBeforeUI property when set to false
body: <p>I am having some performance problems with IE 7, whereby the page pauses during rendering while scripts are loaded, this is at times taking up to 5 seconds and leaves the user with a blank screen while he/she waits.</p>
  
  <p>After a process of elimination I have deduced this is because of the scripts emitted by the asp.net ScriptManager class, by dumping the html and testing the same page with the scripts at the bottom, the problem is resolved (well to the extent that the user experience is greatly improved as the user now has a nicely rendered page to look at rather than a blank screen) </p>
  
  <p>So I want to move the emitted scripts to the bottom of the page and looked at setting ScriptManager.LoadScriptsBeforeUI to false in order to achieve this, unfortunately setting this property to false has no effect on where the script references are rendered in the mark-up.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone encountered this problem, and can anyone suggest a way around it?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
