This is a reply concerning the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests stuff. I see a lot of people setting this value above 8. Why looking at the tweak guide on mozillazine (link is somewhere on this thread), I came across this (in the code):

#define NS_HTTP_MAX_PIPELINED_REQUESTS 8
...
mMaxPipelinedRequests = CLAMP(val, 1, NS_HTTP_MAX_PIPELINED_REQUESTS);

What does this say? It says that the minimum number of pipes is 1 (duh) and max number is 8. If val (the http.piplining.maxrequests) has a number outside this region, it will set it to the max or min. So, if you set network.http.piplining.maxrequests to a number greater than 8, the code will lower it to 8 and you'll get no benefit. If however you've compiled out this limit (like I'm about to), then you're good.
