A concern with this approach would be that we're modifying a third party minified library which creates a maintenance problem for us and isn't best practice.
It could be worth more investigation to identify other possible solutions/approaches.

What
Changed pym.js code to make iframes have a loading="lazy" attribute. This will significantly reduce server load when users request pages with a load of data viz content in iframes.
How to review
Load a page with a data viz iframe (eg. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/articles/howisinflationaffectingyourhouseholdcosts/2022-03-23) and make sure that the iframe loads correctly and has a loading="lazy" attribute.
Who can review
The change was made by me based on discussions involving @418error
