Some methods to speed up your IE 7 (I havn't tried it myself because I use firefox, but found it useful to share with everyone, TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK)

Method 1

Before you start take back up of your registry.
Start -> Run -> regedit -> right click to My Computer -> Export and save it.
1. Save this text in notepad with ".reg" extension! And merge it.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M*cro$oft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000010
  "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000010
2. Delete the following key
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> M*cro$oft=> Windows -> Current Version -> Explorer -> RemoteComputer -> NameSpace
  
  There is two reg keys! Delete this one:
  {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0O60F5BF}
3. Save this text in notepad with ".reg" extension! And merge it.

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]"ForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00024a00
  "NumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a
  "MaxForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00024a00
  "MaxNumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a
5. If you use modem then do as follows:
  
  Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> [modem and modem model] -> Double click on default modem -> Modem -> Maximum port Speed (put on max)

Method 2:

Turn off Phishing Filter in IE 7

Click on Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced

Near the bottom of the list of options, it has a Phishing heading and 3 options. Set it to "Turn off automatic web site checking".

Alternatively you can download and apply IE7 Phishing Filter Speedup Patch. M*cro$oft has released patch for IE7 that speeds up the built-in phishing filter, which otherwise can slow down your web surfing. It can be downloaded from here

You can speed up browsing by good use of temp files. Go to IE options -> General -> Temporary internet files -> Settings

there are 4 options for "check newer versions of stored files" check to "never". This speeds up browsing drastically. whenever you want apage updated just press refresh. It helped me a lot atleast
