1-UNLOAD DLL FROM MEMORY

When you close an application, Windows keep dll used in memory and it sadly slow down your computer...This tips consists in forcing the operating system to get rid of them when the DLL is not any more used.

Go in the registry base of windows ( Start , Execute , RegEdit )

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer

Make a new Dword valor named AlwaysUnloadDll clicking with the right button in the right section , then choose the command New and Dword Valor.

Allocate to this chain the value 1
Restart your computer to save the changes.

This tip consist in configuring the Registry to open more connection per server.

The benefits of these minor tweaks probably won't be very noticeable at all. Personally if things aren't messed up, why would you bother with such tweaks. There are better ways of keeping your PC running efficiently. Run Defrag and Scandisk every few weeks for example. A complete Windows reinstall every 6 months wouldn't hurt either.

So don't bother, you won't notice the difference. And if you don't know what you're doing in the registry, you can go-red-engine Windows pretty bad.

If you have Firefox you can do a similar tweaks to what is described in the 3rd one you listed

Type about:config in the address bar and change the following variables:

network.http.max-connections = 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server = 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 4
network.http.pipelining = true

The values are basically double what is set at default. See if that little bit is noticeable

Those tweaks for Windows XP are just myths.

To speed up Firefox, use Firetune.

Fasterfox is a terrible extension because it has "prefetching". While you idle a page, it goes to EVERY link and downloads it into your cache.

This will cause servers to have a much higher load and eat up their bandwidth. On top of that, you can get banned from many sites (such as www.dnsstuff.com) for using it due to the prefetching "feature".
