[Fasterfox] Pre-fetching not utilizing any bandwidth

Hello,

I recently installed the latest version of Fasterfox (0.7.9) on  
Firefox 1.0.6.  After loading all sorts of pages with both dynamic  
and static links and content, I've concluded that enhanced  
prefetching does not actually use any bandwidth to prefetch pages.   
I've let it sit for up to a minute on different pages after they have  
loaded (each with 20 - 100 static links) and activity monitor and  
menumeters both do not report any bandwidth being used.
Clicking on those links doesn't yield any faster load times either.

I have tried Fasterfox on turbo settings and the custom setting to  
make sure prefetching is on, and no luck.

I am running OS X 10.4.2 --- any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
Dennis
