    Firefox tip

    I just tried this out, and it seems to load pages a little bit faster:

    If you use firefox, and have a broadband connection, try this:

    In the address box, type about:config

    Make the following changes by double clicking on the lines:

    network.http.pipelining true
    network.http.proxy.pipelining true
    network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 30

    Then try loading a web page with lots of graphics, or a page that
    is often slow to load.

    Happy New Year.

    Hold there while I get the "holy repost batman" pic out. There must be one lying around somewhere!

    EDIT - OK, so I can find it, but here's the original:
