Found this on 300zxclub.com, I've given it a go on my FireFox and it works quite well, see what you think................

 

Broadband and Firefox users only

Found this on another site works pretty good. thought i would post.

 

This is simple. Works wonders really.

 

Want Firefox to run 2/3 times faster? Course you do. Read on...

 

Here's something for broadband (will have the opposite effect for 56kers) people that will really speed Firefox up:

 

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.pipeli ning

network.http.pipelining.m axrequests

 

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.pipeli ning" to "true"

 

Set "network.http.pipelining.m axrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

 

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.del ay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time 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. I swear it works, pages are loaded in a split second for me now. Very Happy

 

 

 

Thats it.

Nice one mate, just done it and it does indeed work :dance:

 

Thanks very much :)

Yep - seems to work for me as well

Excellent thanks mate, works a treat especially as this site has been really slow for me lately.

 

Cheers :dance:

Unfortunately, whilst you may make the forum marginally better for yourself, you'll probably also make it worse for everyone else ! Still, we should have a new dedicated server soon. :cool:

Yep !

 

 

No, in reality I doubt whether it makes much difference, if the server is flat out serving 50 threads, then it'll be flat out serving 250. You just get 10 slow streams, instead of 4 slow ones .....
