Load More but AFTER normal PHP

Hello

I have the plugin working fine, however I wondered, because there is a slight delay when loading the intial, say, 5 block of posts. So the page is momentarily blank until it loads. I wonder if it’s possible to load the initial 5 articles though php, so they render immediately, then below those call the remaining posts through the Ajax Load More?

If this is possible, what;s the php call? I use:

<?php
            $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
            query_posts('cat=3&posts_per_page=10&paged=' . $paged);
            ?>

Then would like the Load More to pull articles the initial articles. But carying on. So If I use the abmove then call the shortcode:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more repeater="template_3" post_type="post" category="news" posts_per_page="3" scroll_distance="50" max_pages="0" button_label="More News"]'); ?>

I’d like the articles from the plugin to carry on from post #6, rather than repeat from post #1.

Is this possible?
