A cool trick to make Mozilla render web pages very rapidly...EDIT: for narrowband users only

[Random Variable]

go to Edit-->Preferences-->Advanced-->HTTP Networking-->and check "Enable Pipelining"

I've checked it, but I don't really notice anything. What exactly does it do?

Do you have a dial-up connection?

 

[JetBlack69]

nope, cable. I assumed I wouldn't notice it, but I checked it anyway.

Yeah, broadband users won't notice a difference.

For the curious, pipelining allows Mozilla to get multiple objects in one "sweep". So instead of first requesting index.html, then image1.jpg, then image2.jpg, then image3.jpg in four different connection requests, it can request all four files during one session.
All pipelining does is save the overhead of connecting and disconnecting (and all the negotiation involved with that)... not a lot of difference.

At least that's how I understand it.

even broadband can feel the difference on slow servers...

The better question is "Would any dialup users want to download Mozilla?" I forget how big the file is, but I'm sure it would suck on dialup.

 

[Nefrodite]

u sure other browsers like ie don't automatically do this?

i have T1 here at work..but dial-up at home..
is Mozilla worth a try?

I've already tried it, and it makes a huge difference on web sites that have a lot of graphics.

So it benefits everyone, regardless of the speed of your Internet connection?

Sure why not...I'll be the dial-up guinea pig...just give me a bit of time to d/l Mozilla...

[Edit] Holy crap! 10+ megs! :Q

I guess I'll let you guys know tomorrow

i have the drivers installed... but i still can't depress the scroll button and auto-scroll.

 

[b0mbrman]

Alright...I suppose I can tell the difference but it still doesn't stop 56k from sucking
