thought i'd try firefox, doesn't seem faster but it is simpler, however it uses more resources than IE.
firefox reports 26,000k mem usage while IE reports 14,000k mem usage. I thought firefox was supposed to be more efficient and compact. any other benefits or drawbacks? is it safer or more resistant to attacks etc? |

Also, IE seems faster because it's integrated into windows. Most of the APIs it uses are already running as windows. Firefox on the other hand isn't. I think they have a little preloader that lets you do that.
Also, try these things to speed up firefox on BROADBAND: in the address bar, type in about:config scroll down until you see network.http.pipelining, double-click to set this to true scroll down until you see network.pipelining.maxrequests, double-click and set this to something like 30. scroll down until you see network.http.proxy.pipelining, set this to true. then: right-click anywhere in the window of settings, select New > Integer. name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay, set it to 0. Close firefox, open it back up, and notice the speed difference in web browsing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
