Forgot which registry setting this was. Speeds up things considerably if I do 10 at once- fairly stable as well.

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings
3. Select New > DWORD Value from the Edit menu
4. Name the new value MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
5. Right-click the MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server value and choose Modify
6. Under Base, click the radio button next to Decimal
7. In the Value Data: box enter the number of simultaneous connections you want to set (for example 10 is a good value), and click OK
8. Repeat steps 3 - 7 using the new value MaxConnectionsPerServer
9. Exit the registry editor

Thanks.

This makes a huge difference, especially since Comcast bumped up the speed to 3mbps. IE is very zippy now. Most pages come up almost immediately.
