Thier ar two ways I know that speed up internet explorer.
1. Add or change the DWORD strings in the register MaxConnectionsPerServer and MaxConnectionsPerl_OServer you will find or have to add them in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
standard it is set on 2 increase it to 6 and don't forget to select the decimal setting.

2.Close all browser windows open the register en goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace thier you will find {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
delet it close the register en start up your browser.

You shouldn't do this if you do web development on your machine.

I had to remove this setting as it quickly overloads the 10 connection limit of IIS for Windows XP Professional on my dev workstation. This can cause odd little bugs within IE of certain elements of a page not loading. Worse, trying to do cross-browser dev often results in "too many connections" server errors.
