If you have broadband and use Firefox, you may want to try the following:

Don't worry about editing the *.js file in a text editor, as that's just asking for trouble.
I've tried this, and the performance improvement when rendering new pages is wonderful.

- Start Firefox, type "about:config" in the address box, and press "Enter"
- To enable the rendering delay trick
- Right-click anywhere and choose "New > Integer"
- You will be prompted for a variable name. Type in "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" (without the quotes, of course)
- You will then be asked for a value. Use the number zero.
- To enable the pipelining trick
- Scroll down until you find "network.http.pipelining"
- Double click on "network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to flip them from "false" to "true"
- Double click on "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to set a new value. This will set the maximum number of simultaneous requests your browser will make when loading a page. The Firefox site recommends 8, but I set mine to 32. Set it to whatever seems comfortable to you.
