Most share widgets are not suited to be used on your site, adding just a few widgets can increase load times by 2000% on the fastest sites..
Maybe whoever developed these widgets, just didn't know about performance.
It is however possible to create widgets which doesn't depend on such external scripts, so its just plain stupid that they have it this way.

I hate Facebook.
Often it happens to me that it even takes longer than five seconds to load the crappy facebook SPY widget.
I wait and wait and wait, only to see who pressed the like button.
Sometimes I have to wait ONLY for the like button.
100.000 victims during earthquake. and then LIKE.
No facebook s*cks. Facebook makes for me sites worse.

Use AJAX to load it AFTER the page was loaded. Speed is kept and you can still have it if they wait a bit.

Too many widgets can slow your page, but most people are on really cheap hosting which is why the site goes so slow.

That's true Widget's help you to promote and it's good for users.
But i am worried that using joomla or drupal cause bit slower for website's to load.
Nice Video Matt

@DrSunnz You can ask him via E-Mail, his Blog, Webmaster Forum [group closed], or even Twitter. But he'll decide.
