Making Firefox Faster

I recently ran across a Firefox extension that tweaks network settings. Today, I ran across an article describing how to do the same manually but they also mentioned an additonal option that makes rendering faster:

1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return
…
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 recieves.

Of course, Opera is still faster then FireFox by leaps and bounds, AND it has the convinient per/page no-images button. Still waiting for FireFox to match that.
