jmr0311 Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hi people, How this "modprobe.conf" file looks to you. Because I feel that firefox is not very fast in my system; alias eth0 eepro100alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-cmipci && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true remove snd-cmipci { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-cmipci #Turn off IPv6 alias net-pf-10 off alias net-pf-2 #ipv4 install ipv4 /bin/true Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

jmr0311 Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Found this settings for firefox that seem to add some speed; user_pref("general.smoothScroll", true);user_pref("network.image.imageBehavior", 0); user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16); user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100); user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 100); Javi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEberger Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 i added the nglayout.initialpaint.delay to my about:config and it really impressed me. with the other settings increased, it worked better but still the networking dragged. it is considerably better.

Guest walter@samsco.biz Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Does anyone know what to do if nglayout.initialpaint.delay is not in the list? I cant seem to locate it, all else was in the list. Thanks wsams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Does anyone know what to do if nglayout.initialpaint.delay is not in the list? I cant seem to locate it, all else was in the list. If you've typed about:config in the address bar, filtered for nglayout, and it's not in the list, you can add it by: right-clicking in the preference list window, select New Integer, enter preference name, then enter integer value. Note that there is controversy about whether this nglayout.initialpaint.delay setting actually helps or hinders overall performance. You've heard the pro side, here's one posting on the con side: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007164.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest msvr Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 (edited) Hi, Now there is an extension "Faster fox" which does all the above discussed tweaks automaticall. Further more it also gives options to manually - graphically adjust them from preferences. It is very good and highly rate. The practical speed improvement is great. Have fun!!

johnz Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 the turbo gives speed increase, iv had the below tweaks for nearly a year but think Opera is faster and after some configuration is just as good. Turbo 1. Type about:config into the URL bar & ENTER 2. In the filter bar, enter turbo 3. "browser.turbo.enabled" should appear. Double click to enable it. 4. Restart browser 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: (by double clicking them) Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. (I changed mine to 100, works great.) 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 the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLA21 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. (I changed mine to 100, works great.) It's useless to set it 50,10, or 1000, the maximum limit value is 8. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.ph...5967ebc3826c63f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
