There's actually some interesting things in this area. FF checks for ipv6 DNS first so it's slower to resolve domain names. However, it supports HTTP pipelining, which I've noticed does make a good difference when loading pages with lots of external objects (e.g. images) - all the objects are requested at once and come up faster. HTTP pipelining is disabled by default though, because it doesn't work with some (non-standard?) web-servers, but I've never had a problem with it.
