If it says "turbo" it must be good right? :-) According to this page:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries#Browser..2A
this entry was deprecated (and had nothing to do with render times even
when it wasn't).

Thanks, I've tuned these already. My download times are fine -- its the
render time that is killing me.

I get subsecond rendering times in elinks <grin>. Of course the page
is not so attractive.
Linux Firefox 1.06 13.75 seconds.
Linux Konq 7.34 seconds.
Konqueror is definitely improving.
