Will this highlighter make my webpage slow?

SmartAss Highlighter uses two files in output- highlighter.js and highlighter.css. These two files have total size of 17KB but If you web server supports compression then the reduced load will be of 7KB. However, If your server does not support compression or you dont have control over it, please visit plugin page.

What is different about this highlighter?

• It uses a shortcode to trigger, so user can control highlighting from post to post.
• The extra code/libraries are added in footer, so that you page is loaded first and highlighting is done later asynchronously
• No option menu
