ckeditor slow to load

I just installed the very basic level of ckeditor and noticed that it takes quite a while to load on each page load.

Here's a (HTML5) gif of the loading (this is slightly faster than normal): http://zippy.gfycat.com/BlankQuarterlyCow.mp4?2

I'm not doing anything that would pop out as problematic so I'm not sure why it takes so long to load. Is there any way to have the textarea never show up, so that it doesn't look as if it's "popping" into the ckeditor like it does in the gif?

These are the only JS scripts that I have on this page:

<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>

Please help.
