If you came to this page and your running IE, start by downloading firefox 3 here. Thats step 1 to getting a faster browser.
The rest of the steps, to varying degrees, will increase your browser’s speed. No doubt about it.
Piplelining, telling your browser to request multipul packets of data before any have been recieved, I would not recommend from an IT person’s view as this draws additional bandwidth and server load. Most sites will have no problem if one maybe two hundred people do this, but imagine how bad it would be if you got Dugg and even a tenth of the people had this turned on. Even a really robust systemwould break down and cry.
Number 3, Fast Loading, I’m all for as its totally on the user’s side. Essentially you tell your computer to manage (load) data instead of power the user interface. This improves load times at the expense of browser responsiveness. As soon as the page is done loading your back to normal.
