The feedflare does not have much problems as it loads only after the body has loaded. Other than that it does not matter if you move the widgets to the footer since it's inside the body and will always use the load time.

I've actually found the two biggest culprits on my site are the Feedburner Flare and the Alexa widget (both of which I noticed you still use). I removed the flare on my site and am considering moving the Alexa widget down to the footer somewhere to keep load times up. I think with every site, trial and error are the best way to get an optimal load time. Great explanation!
