After 24 hours of using noscript, I have to say I'm very pleased. It takes a bit of tuning work (have to turn on scripts for some sites, like aeroplan.com) but performance is significantly improved. For some newspaper sites I read, I think the improvement is close to 5x -- pages actually "snap" onto the browser, making web browsing far more pleasant.

Thanks, drdrma!
