try this tweak I found, speeds it up ALOT if you have broadband.

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

I did that awhile ago. DL the "mouse gestures" and "tabbrowser preferences" extensions if you haven't yet. I use them all the time.

would that hack speed dialup up? I'm afraid it would bog down my connection sending multiple requests at once. Anybody tried it on dialup?

I'd install it and if it didn't work, i'd just uninstall it. The computer will keep your IE settings anyway.
