Make Kazehakase Faster
Kazehakase is a small-footprint, low resource browser based on Mozilla’s Gecko engine. And like Firefox, it’s pretty simple to tweak to get more speed out of it.
Most of the about:config tweaks that work for Firefox also work for Kazehakase. Which means all those speed gimmicks that you can find around the Web are easy to apply to Firefox’s redheaded stepchild, and the results are better than you’d expect.
I spent a few hours last night culling and testing settings, and so far, these work great. I can’t say that any one in particular is wonderfully effective, but that’s because I applied most (if not all) of them in one shot, so I only saw the before-and-after of the entire list. And like I said, it was fantastic.
- user_pref(“content.notify.backoffcount”, ”5″);
- user_pref(“network.dns.disableIPv6″, true);
- user_pref(“network.http.pipelining”, true);
- user_pref(“network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”, 8);
- user_pref(“network.http.proxy.pipelining”, true);
- user_pref(“network.prefetch-next”, false);
- user_pref(“nglayout.initialpaint.delay”, 0);
- user_pref(“plugin.expose_full_path”, true);
- user_pref(“ui.submenu.delay”, ”0″);
You can add these manually to your about:config page, but you’ll have to create about six or seven of them from scratch. You should be able to cut and paste these into your ~/.kazehakase/mozilla/kazehakase/prefs.js file while Kazehakase isn’t running; I haven’t tried that, so don’t yell at me if it doesn’t work.
