Mac OS X : Tuning Tiger (10.4.x) for super fast web surfing...

Wednesday Jun 06, 2007

I'd like to make my MacBook the surfing monster--uploading/downloading at its top speed. Well, something need to be modified.

(1) Use Optimized version of Firefox (http://www.furbism.com/firefoxmac/) -- Bon Echo

(2) Tuning VNodes and TCP buffer : (issue these command in Terminal)

sudo sysctl -w kern.maxvnodes=92160
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65536
sudo sysctl -w net.local.stream.sendspace=256960
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=224360
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.mssdflt=2920
sudo sysctl -w kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=1048576
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.udp.recvspace=265152
sudo sysctl -w net.local.stream.recvspace=224360
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=256960
sudo sysctl -w kern.ipc.somaxconn=1024
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=1

(3) For Bon Echo, download the add-on called 'Faster Fox' (http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/), set its Preferences to 'Turbo Charged'

(4) Use speed test to verify (don't forget to clean up your browser DISK and Memory cache EACH start)
