Performance

I’m looking to improve the performance of NetSuite for our sales staff.  Given that bandwidth is not an issue, can anyone offer best practices for improving slow-downs/latency on the client side?  Such as ideal browser settings or options to prioritize NS/ajax data?  The above announcement suggests having cache enabled, while often is has been suggested by NS to set cache to zero.

Along the same lines, does anyone experience slowdowns as a result of specific applications or websites running on the user’s workstation?  In the past, I’ve seen poorly done websites impact browser performance in other windows, perhaps due to demanding javascript or spyware/malware.  Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences around this regarding an impact on NetCRM performance?
