Something for firefox users

Not sure about installing the patch - he says that the increase in speed is from making firefox make multiple requests to the same server concurrently.

If this is the case, you don't need to install this foreign exe (I know I'm a little paranoid). You can do this instead

0. Open a new firefox tab/window
1. Type "about:config" in the address field.
2. Set the value of network.http.pipelining to "true".
3. Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "50".
4. Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining to "true"
 

Another trick is to make firefox start rendering the page immediately (normally there is a 250ms delay)

to do this, set
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0
 

Cool gooseberry. thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
 

the patch works..
 

I totally agree with gooseberry... never try EXE from a Unsolicited source...

and yea, tat about:config thingi was cool... didn't knew that... tat's really a helluva lot of things to tweek... good stuff...

Thanks to the gurus - it works

But can't find the nglayout one however
 

hmm weird, the one i use in office has this entry but not the one i use at home. :think: funny!
 

Well, I"ve downloaded mine from http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/, not the official built, but the optimized version for P4 and P(m)...hehehehe... probably there are some differences?... I took the Branch Built instead of the Trunk built... dunno whatsoever reason, the Trunk Built doesn't work and is giving me weird errors... anyone wanna enlighten me?
 

Thanks.. I've just converted to Firefox, and wow.
It's a whole lot customizable compared to IE.

I love plugin based software... :)

Yeah, it looks like the preference setting for nglayout.initialpaint.delay is not displayed in the newer versions (if you've installed an older version and done an upgrade, it will still be there), just right click on the preferences list and select New->Integer and create a setting for it.
 

Tried gooseberry's tricks before loading the patcher, and the patcher still loads pages considerably faster.

So the patcher has more than just those pipelining requests... :)
