o.O Add this to your user.js file (in Application Data, or grab the extension ChromEdit)

// This one makes a huge difference. Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
// Enable pipelining:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);

It renders pages like nothing I've ever seen before... The speed... Soooo good... *drools all over Firebird*
