Bob found a great resource for making Firefox faster for broadband users.  So why is pipelining disabled by default?  Shannon sent me this link explaining some of the caveats involved.  I did all the tweaks mentioned except adding the custom "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" key in about:config...I am ok with changing existing keys, but if a key isn't listed, there's probably a good reason as to why it's not.  I've already noticed a huge increase in speed on pages with more than a trivial amount of images.  Caveat emptor.
