New Windows - Firefox problems


Recommended Posts

Hi

So, I have just re-installed my windows (it was about a year old and hell slow...you know). The setup is:

Windows XP Professional (yes, legal) + SP2 slipstreamed + nLite-ed (few tweaks, no msn explorer etc.).

After the install, and autopatcher/windows update, of course the first thing i was installed is the latest nightly Deer Park Alpha 2. Pipelining on of course, tweaking the connection numbers etc., lets start browsing. Everything is slow and laggy. Of course, if i start to download something, it comes with full speed, but standard browsing is slooooooooooooooooooooooow. Sometimes it starts to load a page and suddenly stops and never finishes it. Sometimes it loads nothing and i have to restart it to work again. Sometimes i have to restart windows to get it to work again. I even tried the offical 1.06 release, and i got the same result, I turned off pipelining, still the same. What the heck is the problem???

Now i'm still running my old system, which is XPSP2 and has no problems... (okay, maybe i dont have all the security patches and it is not nLite-ed, but anyways...)

Thanks for the help,

KTamas

P.S: Yes, it is fresh profile, I only copied my bookmarks in.

its probably the pipelining or one of the other network tweaks...you probably set it wayy to high like most people do and that actually causes slower browsing. either that or you changed the nglayout.initialpaint.delay in about:config to something absurd like under 500 default is 1000 so lowest you should have is around 700

What are the optimal settings? I set nglayout.initialpaint.delay to 0 (or to nothing, i don't know), and all connections etc. to 100...

wow that is probably why.

set:

nglayout.initialpaint.delay to 700

network.http.max-connections to 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server 16

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to 8

network.http.pipelining to true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 8

those will speed it up a lot, you were really bogging down the servers and firefox with the settings you had
