Thought this might interest some FF users. I did this and I immediately noticed substantial page load increases. Quite impressive, at least to me, because no other speed increase tips have seemed to work.

1. about:config
2. Right click > New Integer
3. Paste "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" without quotes
4. Integer value set to 0
5. Restart Firefox

I can't see anything that says "about". Where do I go?

type that into the address bar

edit: mine was already at 0. Maybe it's because I have the fasterfox extension

Type about:config into your address bar.

Is this the same tweak that increases speed, but also increases strain on servers?

Judging from the name, I'd say no. Before, Firefox would wait amount X before displaying/rendering the page, now it starts immediately. It's probably there for modem users/users with slow connections.

Such setting has to be synchronized with another one (as the first thread says) and also it puts more strain on your CPU.

This has definitely seemed to put a lot more strain on my processor.
