Caution! Messing with your registry can F up your computer. If you follow these steps correctly, you wont have a problem.

I am normally a "dont fix it if it aint broken" kind of guy, but check this out
(I noticed a difference)
This has definately decreased my AF lag as well!

Let me know how it works for you if you try it.

Little hack that will make firefox and IE faster

I found this little hack after reading a Digg article. The real link to the tutorial video is at metacafe. All i do here is take those information and put it here on my webpage so i can reference it later quickly.
Anyway, by default, internet browser such as IE and Firefox are optimized for dial-up connection. This hack increase the simultaneous connections per page for faster browsing
For IE:
1) Go to Start -> Run
2) Type “regedit”
3) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings
4) Check to see if you have “MaxConnections Per1_0Server” and “MaxConnections PerServer” registry key
5) If you have those key listed then right click on them -> modify -> Change value to 10 (decimal). If you dont have these key listed then right click -> new -> DWORD values -> name them “MaxConnections Per1_0Server” and “MaxConnections PerServer” respectively and assign both with value 10 (decimal)
6) Close registry editior and try using IE, u’ll see significant improvement


For Firefox
1) On address bar type “about:config”
2) on filter type “network”
3) Scroll down and look for “network.http.pipelining”
4) If it’s already set to “true” then you’re good, otherwise double click on it and set it to true
5) Look for “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”
6) Double click on it and set the value to 8. (Note: this is different from the turtorial i read. In the tutorial, he said to set the value to 10. However, firefox can only handle 8 pipeline so there’s no reason to set it above that. This info is from mozilla knowlegde base site)
7) on filter type “nglayout”
8) Look for “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set the value to 0 (This value is the amount of time (ms) the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves. The default value is 750 ms, which means Firefox waits about 1 sec before receiving the data and drawing it on screen)
9) Again, if you can’t find this string then right click -> new -> string -> name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set the value to 0.
10) Now use your Firefox and you should see some improvement.

 

Sure I have no problem editing my registry because Tony Du said it's ok.

 

Tony's cool, dont hate.
You can always go back and delete/modify regestry entries.. Try it, youll like it.

 

Did that on my FF a while ago.. makes it nice!!

 

I was hoping to see some improvements but all mine are already at the values suggested. I must have run some kind of speed up program or something. [:@]

 

you guys are going to hate me but i ran a dl speed test at pcpitstop.com and my dl speet is
Download Bandwidth Test Results
Download speed: 32867 kilobits per second

 

At home?

 

Bah, I don't like IE.

For those that use Firefox, how does it compare to the Add On for Firefox, Faster Fox? Works really well without having to configure anything.
