It has a special feature called 'Opera Turbo'. It will compress pages and images, making them load faster. It still won't make it as fast as a broadband connection, but it's still faster than without using it.

I can't see any difference on my broadband connection except low quality images because of the compression. Only useful on a dial-up with a slow connection.

I'm tweaking the values to get the best performance and speed, with all the images loaded, currently my choose is:
network.http.max-connections-per-server 2
network.http.max-connections 25
network.http.keep-alive.timeout 175
Supposedly my connection is fast 5MB, but of course that is not the true speed, because the wires (shared connection with the telephone) are from the seventies. The internet/phone provider will not invest on wires, desga2 probably know the company because it is from Spain.

Actually, spanish companies offer up to 50MB.

Actually, spanish companies offer up to 50MB, so it's nonsense the higher speed you have, the lower value you set, because the minimum value is one (1). o.O

Your browser seems to use 6 simultaneous connections to this server.

Looks like the "persistent connections" are somewhat important.

Settings:

network.http.max-connections;30
network.http.max-connections-per-server;10
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy;8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server;6
network.http.pipelining;false
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests;4
network.http.request.max-start-delay;0

Give me after 13825 ms ALL THE IMAGES!



Hooray! (Firefox 3.0.14 - did not seems to like pipelining much, or maybe I'm mistaken)

Using the default setting in KM, my results for all the images was
"Page load time: 11177 ms"
