I was just browsing Firefox extensions and found Fasterfox. http://tinyurl.com/b3t6t

Do you consider this to be a valuable addition to Firefox or an irresponsible resource hog?

I think that if the technology is there, it should be used. It is the burden of the end user to use it responsibly. I appreciate people putting things such as prefetching out there, I'm simply not going to use it because I understand the implications that go along with doing so.

I've been running it for a couple of weeks but I'm seeing only minimal improvement. One machine uses dial-up, the other is behind a company firewall and proxy. You might get better results over a dedicated broadband connection. I'm probably going to remove it.
