I just *LOVE* this plugin and so do our users. I love the new ColorBox addition (much faster!) and generally come to appreciate all the new features which have been put in older and recent versions.

I do have some wishes, focussed on performance enhancements (I'm trying to cut down on as much overhead http requests as possible, but AEC has proven rather difficult to trim.

1. I believe function add_script_vars (line 46) can be easily changed to wp_footer instead of wp_head (I need to do this after every upgrade). Also, most Javascript files (function add_scripts, lines 1452-14890) could also benefit from switching to loading in the footer (I believe this is only for newer WP versions through wp_enqueue_script, but would love to see a conditional for this) (again, works fine in my installation, but need to do this after every new version of AEC)

(my code change for line 46)

add_action('wp_footer', array(&$this, 'add_script_vars'), 1001);

(my code changes for lines 1460-1461)

wp_enqueue_script('colorbox', $this->pluginDir . '/js/jquery.colorbox-min.js', array("jquery"), '', true);
wp_enqueue_script('wp_ajax_edit_comments_script', $this->pluginDir . '/js/wp-ajax-edit-comments.js', array("jquery", "wp-ajax-response", "colorbox") , 2.3, true);

2. An even better option would be to let advanced users disable loading of all the JS files and variables, so we could offload these to a CDN (like you let us define our own CSS files, albeit this won't let us offload to another server, since it has to be a relative path). This also goes for additional css files like the new colorbox.css.

3. If option 'No icons' is chosen (Styles > Determine Icon Display/Sets), AEC still loads the selected icons css file (e.g. wp-ajax-edit-comments/css/themes/circular/edit-comments.css) and thus all the (redudant) icon images in that css file. Maybe a separate 'no-icons' theme would be a solution?

Other than this, one of the best WordPress plugins out there, both for admins *and* users. Thanks for all your hard work (and thanks to Ajay too!)

P.S. Most of my wishes only affect the user side of AEC. I don't really mind about what extra stuff is loaded for admins (either front or dashboard)
