By now you have all heard of the G4 optimized versions of FireFox, right? If not, go here

Now, combine that with the below tweaks that were found on Forevergeek.com

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.

Search the forum.

edit: I'll be a bit nicer, http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...hreadid=230273 . Also, bringing the initialpaint down to 0 defeats it's purpose, and causes a slowdown.

Or just do it the smart way with the Tweak Network Settings plugin.
