How to reduce lag to render math on html?

Question

So, I need to implement mathjax in a web project, Did some research on who is already using it and found that,

https://math.stackexchange.com/ Uses mathjax to render mathematical equations and formulas. But when it gets rendered on the browser it is slow and a lag is present. How could this be removed or reduced more then what is happening right now.

Answer 1

MathJax is a very good renderer but isn't always the fastest. An alternative javascript math rendering library is jqmath That is noticably smaller and quicker than MathJax, but doesn't aim for all the same spacing refinements and the same coverage of latex math input.

The fastest rendering of course is just to use MathML in the page and require a browser that supports it. Current versions of Opera, Safari, Firefox and Chrome all support that to some extent. (For IE people need the free (not open source) MathPlayer plugin). My own html5mathml JavaScript sometimes helps to smooth the gaps between the different browser implementations.
