[quote=guenter] I hope I understood enough to help a little :) Most speed tweaks are for all Geckos. Achilles collected & commented many a few years ago. K-Meleon will use all ones that are applicable - You can place them into user.js (a file in Profile folder, it overrides other prefs files, hope I was able to format my text so that this Forum does not break all and You can copy & paste the ones You want). K-Meleon will not know the prefs that influence Firefox XUL/Chrome - so they do no harm but they are not executed & do not help either - I never bother to invest the time to eliminate them. If You find good tweaks e.g. in firefox profile after using a speat tweaking extension - You can inject them via user.js. Here are some with comments in English: [code] Excerpts from Firefox tweak guide created by Achilles Most of us have heard of these tweaks, and they can be used with any Mozilla. The settings are inserted into user.js, which feeds them into prefs.js on start. Achilles based his legendary summary at [url=http://www.tweakfactor.com/articles/tweaks/firefoxtweak/4.html]Tweakfactor[/url] on a thread at [url=http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53650&postdays=0&postorder=asc&postsperpage=15&start=0]Mozilla Forum.[/url] K-Meleon and some other Gecko browsers that use their native OS widgets will not use tweaks for XUL items. - So not all tweaks are applicable for k-m, but even those that are not usefull do no harm; k-m just overlooks them. Since K-Meleon goes with low resources - Slow Computer means slower than Pentium 500 for us ;-) . Quick and Dirty Settings user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0); Pipelining does multiple data requests at once and should speed things up. Initial Paint Delay actually slows down the rendering of the ENTIRE page but I tend to start reading before the entire page is rendered ; - ) this gives me the impression that the page loads faster. Common to all configurations These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off. user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true); user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8); user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5); user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true); user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0); Fast Computer Fast Connection user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true); user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000); user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000); user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true); user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0); user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8); user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536); A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used. Fast Computer, Slower Connection This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections. user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000); user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000); user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true); user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000); user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0); user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536); Fast Computer, Slow Connection (dial-up / modem) user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true); user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true); user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000); user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191); user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000); user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true); user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000); user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0); user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536); Slow Computer, Fast Connection user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000); user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5); user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000); user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true); user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000); user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000); user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8); user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true); One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time. Slow Computer, Slow Connection(dial-up / modem) user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000); user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000); user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true); user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000); user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750); user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32); user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8); user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4); user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true); [/code][/quote]
