OT - Firefox browser - faster performance

[malc-c]

Firstly, sorry for posting in an main forum, but I'm not sure where to post and this is the most active

This will give you more speed when browsing using Firefox.

1. Type about:config into the address bar and hit return.

2. Alter the entries as follows (by double clicking each entry):

Set network.http.max-connections to 48

Set network.http.max-connections-per-server to 24

Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy to 12

Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to 6

Set network.http.pipelining to true

Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true

Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 8. Any more and you may get banned from the site visited, as it may be viewed as DOS attack. Try a higher value say upto 32 but be prepared to lower the value if sites fail to load.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New -> Integer.

Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0.
This value is the amount of time (in milliseconds) the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now, even if a dial-up connection it will still be faster than before.

Trust me it works... I got the info 3rd hand so don't ask how/why/what it does !!

Very impressive indeed. Thanks.

Did you also know that if you have RAM more then 1GB and disable page file (in Win XP) then you can have increased performance as if the CPU were changed to a faster one.
