Put the scripts inside the page element.
However, it's unlikely that this will improve performance. If anything, it's likely to slightly degrade performance, because then the browser will have to check with the server for outdated script. If you put the scripts in <head> you avoid this unnecessary round-trip (i.e. it's done only once, not on every page.)
It really is better just to load all your scripts from <head>, unless the scripts are very large and only used on a particular page.
