I love many things about this machine, but browsing speed has always been a bit frustrating. The fact that Opera on my Blackberry 8300 could render pages faster, with comparable layout and functionality just seemed wrong! This has essentially sped up the 810 to be just about as fast.

For any other noobs out there, the about:config method is incredibly slow (put aside 30 min to make the changes, the 810 will look like it has hung on each parameter update... hell, loading the about:config page will lock your machine for a few minutes) but it seems pretty safe and it works.

I used the about:config method and was done in 5 minutes. However, for some strange reason, my N800 has been taking several minutes to boot up for the last couple of days, not sure why - Canola related?

I've also done the sysctl configs, but still no idea how to get a 32MB swap file.
