chin808 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 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.computerbb.org/about150.html seems to really improve page loading times -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qchem Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) Setting a value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100" doesn't do a lot, its hardwired limit is 8 Edited July 2, 2004 by Qchem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSe Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Just as I thought Firefox couldn't get any faster... I wasn't actually expecting to notice the difference - but I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 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.

iphitus Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 this is so much faster now! browsing here is just shot of instant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnes Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 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!

chin808 Posted July 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 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. B) -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherpa Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 wow, i have a 4 Mb/s connection, i applied these changes to mozilla, wow, it is so much faster. it was already fast from the internet connection alone, but now it is better, this should go to Tips and Tricks!!!!!

nocturnes Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Does anyone know how to make this permanent rather than having to do it each time FF is run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 It should be permanent. YOu shouldnt need to set it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
