Chimera Gets Faster
If you use Chimera as your web browser on OSX (and there is every reason to) you might be interested in a little speed boost reported recently by MacOSXHints.
It's called HTTP/1.1 Pipelining and you can enable it by adding the following lines to the preferences file ( ~/Library -> Application Support -> Chimera -> Profiles -> default -> [random].slt -> prefs.js ):
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
There should be a noticeable speed increase, especially news heavy sites such as Slashdot or Metafilter.

Very cool - my fastest and favorite browser gets even faster! What more could you ask for on a Monday morning?
