Are You Using Firefox Browser?

If you're still using Internet Explorer, its been covered before why this is not such a good idea.  If I were you, I'd switch to Firefox or Google Chrome.  If you're using firefox, here's a quick trick for broadband surveyors that will truly speed Firefox up quite a bit:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

By default the firefox browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Finally right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!  Now show us what you did while surveying today!
