Is this old-hat, speeding up firefox?

[Bobby Singh]

Hello,

Maybe all of you know this but if you use firefox you
can speed up surfing by changing the following:

browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs = true
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled = true
network.dns.disableIPv6 = true
network.http.max-connections 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server 24
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 12
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 32

Now i have done the above and it does work.  Why can't
firefox come default like above anyway?
Is security being comprimised by doing the above?
Is it using more cpu/memory better?

Cheers

Bob
