Personaly form my experience putting JS at the top or bottom shaves only a second or so on page rendering/loading....
If you application relies heavily on javascript for its enhanced functionality and needs the observers in place to function then i would put it at the top. for example.... Load the javascript in the head as normal, then add the event observer for dom/window load/ready to set the observers up... Yahoo's idea is only one out of many ways of doing things and what may work for them with their infrastructure and frameworks may not work or benefit everyone.
