Firefox speedup

I have a cable modem with the screaming download rate. My machine is also have 2Gig of RAM for the firefox to hog. Still I found the pages taking their own time to load. With some help from google I changed some of the configuration in firefox. Type about:config in the address bar. I change the following setting and the changed values are shown.

network.http.pipelining true
network.http.proxy.pipelining true
network.http.max-connections 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server 32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 12
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6

After this most of the pages load in a flash. Ofcourse these settings are not for everybody. I have the CPU and memory to live with this setting. It may or may not work for you. So use it with caution.
