Try either one of them and you are definately going to see a speed difference just like the recipe says!
Hope this helps the people who don't want to change settings themselves! :D

maxrequests is set to 4 for a very good reason. Setting it to 32 is fairly hostile/inconsiderate to a web server administrator.
Other than that, good tips.

In order to remove any preference from the about:config area (in this case the string) just right click (or control click) on it and hit 'Reset' and just restart Firefox. It is going to remove the string. Then just add in the correct boolean.
It doesn't really matter anyways, but if it is causing problems then you might want to remove the string.

Very noticeable improvement, especially as i am running Firefox on a very old machine: P 133!!!
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Browser-Tweak/Mozilla-Optimizer.shtml and all you do is run it and it does this for you.
You can also get FasterFox (a firefox extension) which also tweaks your about:config settings.
You can get this at https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1269&application=firefox
