user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 32767);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", true);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 131071);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", true);

user_pref("network.http.accept.default", "*/*");
user_pref("network.http.connect.timeout", 90);
user_pref("network.http.keep-alive.timeout", 90);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 64);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", false);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("network.http.request.max-start-delay", 10);
user_pref("network.http.request.timeout", 90);
user_pref("network.image.imageBehavior", 1);
user_pref("network.prefetch-next", false);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 128);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
user_pref("network.dnsCacheExpiration", 0);
user_pref("network.dnsCacheEntries", 0);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 50);

The stuff that has really made a speed difference is the "content...." settings, which are related to the ngalayout setting. Read about it here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53650

I'd rather not use disk caching and have it use only RAM instead, but since about version .5 that's not been very practical. Having the cache in "/tmp" seems to work okay--next best thing.
