I made those changes a few days ago, but haven't noticed it being any faster with my cable modem. If anything, I'm getting more timeouts, especially on the Forum.

As the article states, it won't do anything for a dialup connection.

Hmm, this site:
http://forevergeek.com/open_source/make_firefox_faster.php#3467

lists one more tweak than John's, and has many comments, pro and con. I applied the non-networking one and now my FireFox is blazing fast!

Jimbeaux, go with Jim Smith's link. It's a super fix and speed galore. At least it is with my 'puter'.
