You can add the following settings to your User.js file to decrease in your webpage load time. You can find user.js at K-Meleon > Profiles > your.profile > user.js and can open it with any text editor. There may be no settings in the file by default. Lines beginning with /* and ending with */ are comments or brief explanations of each setting. They can be copied with the lines of code.

I've also found that the following preferences can solve many problems with servers, and/or proxies that don't support keep-alive connections.
Note: KM' behavior is also weird (from what I saw with some tests I've done) with "keep-alive" set to true. It seems to limit itself to a small amount of simultaneous connections (around 4, and sometimes only a maximum of 2 per server) whatever the values of "max-connections". I don't know if this is a Gecko bug, an intended feature, or a behavior limited to this particular version of Gecko (as of 0.8.2).
user_pref("network.http.keep-alive", false);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.keep-alive", false);
Use them with the preferences above or at least with:
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 40); /* or more */
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 20); /* or more */

To make it easier to enable or disable this tweak, I took the liberty to create a macro for this tweak.
You can find the macro here: Page Speed (for K-Meleon prior to 1.1), KmmSpeedUp (for K-Meleon 1.1)
