    Is there anything I can do to speed up flash based sites like Facebook and Anandtech? I'm not a big fan of using the mobile versions of the sites but these sites lag soooo much. I already have Javascript enabled (if that even helps for this) and my memory cache is set to 1024 kB. Would it help if I bumped it up? What else would that affect? I also have Shockwave Flash enabled if that changes anything.

    Thanks!

    They used to allow you to disable JavaScript on the main site. Now I think you get an error message.

    There is a link in my sig for mobile-friendly URLs. Feel free to add to it as you discover useful ones.
