Improve Mozilla Firefox Performance

Adam Curry recently talked about this on his PodCast but I figured I would add this to my site as knowing my luck I would forget where I saw it on the Internet.
The default install of Mozilla Firefox does not take advantage of multiple simultaneous connections to web servers when downloading files and images. Please note the following tweak is only useful if you are on a high speed connection (not dial up).
The following is quoted from the Free Republic website on how to change this:

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:

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.
