Just tried the pipelining ones here on the school computer and it seems to work pretty well. Thanks for the tip.

In case anyone wonders:
The about:config is edited by double clicking on an item, and Firefox will then bring up a box for you to enter your value. If you have changed one of these, the line in about:config will be bold. There is a way to hard-code any changes into a master copy for remastering purposes, but if one saves your personal settings, that would do.
Also on the pipelining settings:
look at the file /greprefs/all.js
This section:
Code Sample
// Enable http compression: comment this out in case of problems with 1.1
// NOTE: support for "compress" has been disabled per bug 196406.
pref("network.http.accept-encoding" ,"gzip,deflate");

pref("network.http.pipelining"      , false);
pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", false);

// Max number of requests in the pipeline
pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" , 4);

---
There you can see the defaults for Firefox 1.01
If the file is edited and placed in the master copy, then that's what you get each
time Firefox starts. I suppose they settled on "4" to suit all kinds of network speeds. (Dialup, maybe?)
I wonder if changing that to "30" would do fine on broadband.
Just some thoughts.
