Increase Safari’s page loading speed

Quit Safari, then open the preferences file at:
~/Library->Preferences->com.apple.Safari.plist
…in a text editor and add these two lines somewhere inside the <dict> tag:

<key>WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay</key>
<real>0.25</real>

The default value is 1.0. Lowering the value will decrease the time Safari waits to render. Some side effects may be flashing page content as it loads, but it definitely feels faster.
