Make firefox 4 load 2x Faster with simple patch

A cool trick I found on bugzilla.mozilla.org that allow firefox 4 to load twice faster than usual on Windows systems using a patch coded with only 20 lines to trick Windows to load Firefox faster :
Taras Glek : Basic idea is that the sequential flag + bull**** read tricks windows into reading xul in Mb chunks instead of stupid 32k(or smaller) ones. Have to do it this way because there is no fadvise() on Windows(that I know of) A big sequential read cuts down on a lot of seeks.
