Where is the best place to put Jquery code (or separate Jquery file)? Will pages load faster if I put it in the footer?

Most jquery code executes on document ready, which doesn't happen until the end of the page anyway. Furthermore, page rendering can be delayed by javascript parsing/execution, so it's best practice to put all javascript at the bottom of the page.
