Reboot the device and then go into Control Panel -> Memory -> Virtual. I have increased my swap to 64MB and after a few hours of use it has usually swapped out 32+MB to swap and seems more responsive.
.
Well, that answered one of my questions ( I think) however when I go to my virtual memory, it is already at 128MB. What does this mean?
At some point soon I'm going to have to blow away my configs to get a feeling for the defaults again.
brontide, alternatively you could set up to dual boot from MMC and compare performance using an unmodified boot from flash to performance booting from an MMC OS that has your modifications.
Seems a bit harsh, unless you're on a slow connection? If it's the same as FF, that's in ms, so 2 seconds instead of 0.25 (default). I can see slowing it some, to reduce CPU load, but I'm thinking 1000 seems better. Else, if your page takes 2.01 s to arrive, you wouldn't see the final thing until 1.99 s later, or am I understanding this wrong?
nglayout seems a little harsh, but think about how long it takes most websites to load. The longer that initial paint is pushed off, the more data can be downloaded without contention from the rendering engine.
the other two, I can't even tell if they are working, but the theory is to increase the lag between reflows of the page while the data is being downloaded.
Personally I think the majority of the speedup probably come from the large memory cache and the reduction in max connections.
For the 770 I would probably choose a 4 or 6 mb cache rather than 8 because it has half the ram.
