use "window scaling" with caution.

the tcp buffers can make a difference in my experience, but those settings
are Link relatet.
So play a little around to find the setting that works for you best.

A real big difference in network speed is to install a local DNS cache such
as "pdnsd".
That will greatly reduce network delay in Nameresolution and therefore speed
up you surfing greatly.
