What were those firefox tweaks...

That allowed the user to connect X times to a server instead of once, so it speeded up the process a lot?

nm found it:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Are there any kind of tradeoffs for enabling this? Excessive memory or CPU use or anything?

It can actually make loading slower if your upload speed is low since FF (well, TCP) sends an acknowledgement for every packet received.
