I know this is old news, but for anyone that follows along here are some firefox hacks to speed it up:

Start by typing about:config in the address bar.

You're going to want to search for the following:
network.http.pipelining and double click it to set it to true and then,
network.http.proxy.pipelining , set it to true.

Next is network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. This is the amount of requests that firefox makes to a given website when you view it. The more requests, the faster it loads. You can set this to a number like 20.

And lastly, right click in the whitespace and click new > integer. We're going to name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set it to 0.




Keywords: firefox, http, pipelining, about:config
