Found this one in the AMD forums

1. Type "about:config" in the adress field.
2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true".
3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100".
4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true"
5. Set the value of nglayout.initialpaint.delay to "0"

Taken from http://www.computerb...g/about150.html

seems to really improve page loading times

Setting a value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100" doesn't do a lot, its hardwired limit is 8

This option is deprecated in Firefox 0.9 and later.

Just as I thought Firefox couldn't get any faster... I wasn't actually expecting to notice the difference - but I can.

jeez I find firefox really_slow
almost as slow as konqueror....

Ill try this tonight....

I like it and all but compared to Opera it crawls!

I even tried 64bit firefox on a 2.6 kernel against a 32bit opera and Opera won every time... not by a little bit by a massive amount....

(p.s. both machines have 1GB RAM and the keyboard was concurrent since i'd accidentally got the same radio frequency on both :D)

the point Im trying to make is this wasnt a tiny bit ..it was like watching a donkey run against a racehorse.

If you take IE as a metric im sure everything looks fast... but try dillo or opera as a metric and firefox seems very slow... still faster than the bloated mozilla but not anything like dillo or opera.

someone else try and let me know....
perhaps it was something else but they were both connection to my router on 100 MBit internet.

This is nice. I am definitely getting faster speeds from this (although the whole thing went faster when I dropped the bloat of KDE and Gnome as well which helps).

Great advice and I agree - it needs to be in Tips and Tricks

ahhh. perhaps it was becuase i was using it in KDE ???

anyone any ideas how to time this ??

what pages make a difference and which are less noticeable???

what about some big jpg's (try the nasa ones)
does it read more threads at once and piece together....

cant wait to try this tomorrow!

Yes my firebird in winxp always seemed a bit faster than my firefox using kde, after doing this I have seen some noticable increases on pages that used to take just plain too long to load. I had a bad time with 0.9, that was horrendously slow for me.

Does anyone know how to make this permanent rather than having to do it each time FF is run?
