congrats creaky, the new mod, nice man

 

what a simple , but very nice hack. thanxs. my browser is a whole lot faster now.

 

Wow that made a significant diffrence in speed.Thanks a lot.

 

I found this a while back, but don't have a clue from where:

[bold]-find the string
browser.turbo.enabled
-double click and change the value to true[/bold]

I don't really think it makes much of a difference, but it could be useful.

It seems that this option is not there anymore when using v1.5.

 

Geestar great trick my freind, ive been using fasterfox and a few other ff optimizers and now ive included this...the browsing is so fast now.


and again thanks for that one.

 

No problem, just glad I can help

 

This thread is hella awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, are there any config to speed up for Internet Explorer?

I know it is of topic, but please.

 

Warning
The following article involves editing your system registry. Using the Windows Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems requiring the reinstallation of your operating system and possible loss of data. Use the Registry Editor and the following directions at your own risk.

What we are going to do is increase the number of streams that your browser can draw from. Since Internet Explorer complies with HyperText Protocol v1.1, browsers usually only draw two streams or less from a Web server.We are going to increase that from two streams to six. This should enable you to browse much faster.

To begin:

Please Note: Changing the maximum number of connections beyond two is a violation of Internet standards; use at your own risk!

To increase the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed, follow these steps:


1. Click Start | Run.

2. Type regedit and click OK.

3. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion.

4. Click on Internet Settings to view its contents.

5. Check Regedit's right-hand column for the following two lines (values):
MaxConnectionsPerServer
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

6. If these values are present, right-click on the first value (MaxConnectionsPerServer), select Modify from the drop-down menu, click Decimal, and set the Value data field to 6. Repeat this process for the second value (MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server).

7. If these lines (values) are not listed, right-click on the white region of Regedit's right-hand column, click New, and then click DWORD Value.

8. Enter MaxConnectionsPerServer for the name of the new DWORD Value and press Enter. The new value should now appear in Regedit's right-hand column.

9. Right-click the new value and click Modify.

10. As in step six, click Decimal and set the Value Data field to 6, then click OK.

11. Repeat steps seven through 10 using MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server as the new DWORD Value name instead of MaxConnectionsPerServer.

12. You are done. Close Regedit and test Internet Explorer.
