| For the record, "pipelining" is a feature of HTTP 1.1, and refers to the method a browser can use to retrieve data from a server. How/when a browser displays that data is another matter entirely.
So...to answer your question, yes it does, but that's not what's generally called pipelining.
You can change Safari's initial rendering delay with tools like SafariSpeed, or directly from Terminal by typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 0.4
Where "0.4" is the number of seconds Safari should wait before displaying an incomplete web page. The default is 1.0, which many users find excessive. SafariSpeed and other utilities set it to something like 0.001, which I think is too low. 0.2-0.5 seems about right to me.
You'll need to quit Safari before making any changes to this setting. |
