There is a solution that came up recently that is growingly popular especially in the German speaking part of the net called the two-click-method.
It loads the buttons only after the user has clicked a grayed out image of the button. This has the advantage of saving the privacy of your users as facebook and twitter are known for transmitting sensitive user data even if the user has not clicked the button yet and even if the users are not logged in.
The other advantage is of course a reduction of scripts to load initially.
When you care about your users privacy and want to reduce loading times you can kill two birds with one stone this way.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any documentation in English but the code examples and some help of Google Translate should help for this: http://www.heise.de/extras/socialshareprivacy/
