Need For Browser Speed:

All of us love internet , All of us wish the speed to be as high as possible but unfortunately we don't get it, So here are some tweaks that will keep you ahead in browsing. Do note that all browsers now a days have improved a lot and the are pre-tweaked to provide high speed so use this tweak only if you have very slow connection or feel your browser is really slow.

The first 'BASIC' thing you have to follow....

Step1:
Install and frequently scan your computer with a good Spyware removal program. This will keep unwanted and potential threat out.
Step2:
Scan your computer with a good Adware removal program. This is in addition to the Spyware program. Removing all the Spyware and Adware can do wonders for computer productivity. To be in safer side never install software which you do not trust.
Step3:
Empty your Internet files on a set schedule (usually 7 days). This will keep the computer from getting bulked down with millions of files to scan through every time.
Step4:
In Internet Explorer Click “Tools” , then “Internet Options.” Click the “Delete Cookies” button. In Firefox Click "Tools" "Clean Private Data" or Ctrl+shift+Del and clean the files. This will kill cookie files left on your PC by Web sites you have visited
Step5:
Clear the history on your computer. This clears the folder that saves every Internet address you visit the above step does it for you in Firefox.
Step6:
Enter "0" in the box that decides how many days Internet Explorer should save your web history, then click “Apply” and “OK.” This will keep these files from building up and slowing your PC. You can enter as many days as you want. "0" will immediately remove Internet sites from your history after you view them.

Now this is for 'ADVANCED' Users

**For Firefox**
Firefox has literaly eaten Internet Explorer in their market share due to their raw performance and feature, With the introduction of firefox v3.0 they have even more tewaks to its performance and feature. But sitll there are some tweaks we can use and we have them listed here for your convienent.
I) Enabling Pipelining:
Browser in common sends request to server and wait for a response before continuing, But by using PIPELINING technique that lets browser send multiple requests before any responses are received, which well often reducing page download times. To enable it Type "about:config" in address bar and agree for void waranty page now make the following changes.
->Double click network.http.pipelining and set it to True.
->Double click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set value to 10 from the default 4.
->Right click(Apple users ctrl-click) and create a new string nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0.
II) Render Quickly:
Large, complex web pages can take a while to download. Firefox doesn’t want to keep you waiting, so by default will display what it’s received so far every 0.12 seconds (the “content notify interval”). While this helps the browser feel snappy, frequent redraws increase the total page load time, so a longer content notify interval will improve performance.Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) somewhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.notify.interval as your preference name, click OK, enter 500000 (that’s five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand) and click OK again.Right-click again in the window and select New > Boolean. This time create a value called content.notify.ontimer and set it to True to finish the job.
III) Faster loading:
If you haven’t moved your mouse or touched the keyboard for 0.75 seconds (the content switch threshold) then Firefox enters a low frequency interrupt mode, which means its interface becomes less responsive but your page loads more quickly. Reducing the content switch threshold can improve performance, then, and it only takes a moment.Type about:config and press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Integer.
Type Content.switch.threshold, click OK, enter 250000 (a quarter of a second) and click OK to finish.
IV) No Interruptions:
Here we intimate Firefox to ignore user interface events altogether until the current page has been downloaded. This is a little drastic as Firefox could remain unresponsive for quite some time, but try this and see how it works for you.Type about:config, press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Boolean. Type content.interrupt.parsing, click OK, set the value to False and click OK.
V) Enable TraceMonkey:
TraceMonkey converts slow Javascript into super-speedy x86 code, and so lets it run some functions anything up to 20 times faster than the current version. It’s still buggy so isn’t available in the regular Firefox download yet, but if you’re willing to risk the odd crash or two then there’s an easy way to try it out.Install the latest nightly build (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/), launch it, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Type JIT in the filter box, then double-click javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content to change their values to true, and that’s it - you’re running the fastest Firefox Javascript engine ever.

*** Internet Explorer ***
1. Go to Start –> Run and type regedit
2. Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings
3. Increase the values (DECIMAL) from default to a higher value e.g. 10
