Hey All,

Seems a lot of people are using a website to test their Firefox optimizations.
It is here: http://scragz.com/te...dering-time.php

Average of 3 tests
My time before optimization: 2.687 seconds
Time after optimization: 2.203

18% increase in speed....
Not bad but I dont really notice the missing .484 seconds...LOL

mine is 2.36 -- is there a program you used to tweak firefox.  Or did you use about:config -- let me know what settings you used to get your gain... I still haven't tweaked my firefox, and I don't used m2 anymore.

used about:config

settings changed:
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 20
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0  (had to add this one)

Cool, thanks.  Got me to load @ 2.12 now

Thanks, it's in Texas right now.  I may be moving the server to Phoenix, or maybe add another server.  I have been having routing problems to this one.  Plus the traffic is getting a little heavy for just one server... it's a headache man.

OK I DOWNLOADED FIREFOX AND ITS PRETTY NEAT ( SEAMS TO WORK WITH MCAFEE, I DOWNLOADED THE EICAR VIRUS TEST FILE THRU FIREFOX AND VIRUS SCAN CAUGHT IT)  . NOW I WENT TO THAT SITE TO TEST THE SPEED OF IE FIRST. WAS GETTING BOUT 6 OR BIT MORE. THEN I DOWNLOADED FIREFOX, WENT TO TEST IT WAS BOUT 6 SECONDS, THEN I WENT BACK TO TEST IE AGAIN AND WAS ABOUT 4.5 SECONDS. NOW WHERE DO YOU OPTOMIZE IT? I SAW NO PLACE TO OPTIMIZE FIREFOX. THANK YOU.
