These tips really did improve my loading of several different sites
like freshmeat.net, slashdot.org, and weather.com.
I didn't find these tips listed here in any of my searches..
They may help slower machines ( or any ) get the most out of Firefox.
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 receives.
Also, I found this site, which mentions something about a "memory leak"
in Firefox, which I've seen posted here elsewhere recently by a low-ram user.
Other tips are found here as well, and apply to DSL's firefox version same
as any other version..
