It will be a way smoother experience once WW rolls the MathJax scripts into its ResourceLoader packages, rather than making the browser load them all from mathjax.org.

For both these things, I'll want to crib from Moritz Schubotz's LaTeXML version of the MediaWiki Math extension. Here are relevant links:
