What this means is that we don't load the Persona stuff on every page load, just when you sign-in or sign-out.
What this means in real terms is:
1) Every page is faster
2) Except when you sign-in/sign-out, which will suffer a small delay before it happens (noticeable on a slow mobile network)
3) Some versions of some browsers may detect that Persona is a pop-up window and will ask your permission, if your browser does this you may want to whitelist it
Sign-in is now asynchronous.
