Holy Crap, That's Fast!

A co-worker just came by and pointed out a few tweaks to make to Firefox that speed it up by an order of magnitude.

In about:config, make the following changes:

network.http.pipelining -> Set to True
network.http.proxy.pipelining -> Set to True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests -> Set to 8

There are more that you can change listed in the Firefox Tuning thread over at Mozillazine. The improvement from pipelining is incredible though.
