This doesn't work on IE, but there are ways to speed it up, but to be honest with you, IE SUX. Firefox is leaps and bounds better than IE. Once you get used to firefox, you'll forget IE ever existed!!

Agreed. I avoid IE like the plague.

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:

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.

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.


Enjoy
Wow! I did that and it's stoopid fast now! Thanks, you rock!
