    You may want to show us what you are considering.

    All in all, these things don't work. Some try to speed your surfing by anticipating where you may go next and prefetching the pages. There may be a mdicum of utility to this idea, but probably not much.

    Don't waste your time.
    Anything that supposedly speeds up your internet, is probably not going to do it. Most only cache pages, or increase the native IE cache. Rarely do they touch the TCP/IP stack (RWIN and such).
    If you have a specific problem, fix it. Don't rely on any of these "accelerators" to actually help.
