Serving assets from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can drastically decrease load time, however many solutions for putting WordPress core scripts on CDNs utilize differing versions of the scripts and sometimes even contain incompatibilities. WordPress.com always serves the correct version of core scripts. This plugin taps into the WordPress.com CDN to provide high quality and fast delivery to scripts gauranteed to work with up to date versions of WordPress.
NOTE It was brought to my attention by Nacin that due to how WordPress.com updates their servers the current implementation may result in funky behavior. Working on a way to resolve it. https://twitter.com/benlobaugh/status/412454424850616321 and https://twitter.com/nacin/status/412457208148811777
