[Fasterfox] Good idea, but do tests and tweak the constants

Hi;

I installed fasterfox and it seems good, but I do think the constants 
you have are completely wrong.

For example, why not bump up DNS values to 10 hours or 24 hours?

Also, opening 48 connections to a server would kill it. The default 
values are 2 and bumping up to 4 or 6 would be very helpful, but bumping 
up to 48 are unnecessary and dangerous.

I think prefetching is a big waste of internet bandwidth and should be 
turned off by default.

Consider what would happen if everyone on the internet were running your 
plugin. The world would crash!

What do you think?
