 There are a few modifications to the default Firefox configuration
 settings that yield large improvements in Firefox's speed. The Tor website
 mentions some. One that deserves special mention by the Tor Project is
 "content.switch.threshold" The default value is ridiculously high at
 750,000. I would recommend 250,000 or lower, depending on the speed of the
 internet connection and Tor. This setting has to be created and requires
 the modification of two other settings. More details are at
 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Content.switch.threshold

 The FasterFox Lite addon allows the modification of this setting but
 doesn't give it the prominence it deserves.
