Heard this from a friend:

If you run Firefox, you already know it's worlds faster than IE.

But you can tweak it and make it a lot faster still.

in the address bar, enter: "about:config" and hit enter (or press go)

You'll see a ton of settings. The three we care about here are:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining

Set them to

network.http.pipelining = True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30
network.http.proxy.pipelining = True

or you can just get hte network tweak extension, and click a button and it's done. >>.

or you can get k-melon which is even faster although its only at .9 now so its still buggy.

also this:

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 receives.
