Wow! I have seldom believed claims of speeding up internet access... have always assumed all those ads are just people looking for money... but this is free!!! and really improves the efficiency. Like the ad says, modify your registry and presto... faster page refreshing.
However, being the cynic (and engineer) that I am, what is the tradeoff? You never get something for nothing. In this case, I am guessing there are two possible side effects. The first, is that by violating hypertext protocol you may not always be able to interface with a site properly... though if that were true, shouldn't I see that right away? The second (and most likely) is that the only penalty is that I am tying up more streams of data than is fair. So, just like a doublewide trailer on an interstate, no penalty to me, but may slow others on the same servers down a bit.
