Inside the address bar type:
about:config
and then find:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
and set them both to "true". This adjusts the pipelining settings.
Then find
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
and set it to 8, though you should feel free to play with this number a little and tweak it as you see fit - the article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.pipelining.maxrequests suggests that 8 is easiliy sufficient.
Finally, right-click on any setting and select 'new' and then 'integer'. Set the name to "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" (you might want to copy & paste it) and set the value to "0" (zero). This removes the render delay.
And hey presto you should notice a sigificant speed increase from a simple optimization!
