I think in only rare cases it speeds up browsing tho, you would get the most gain if the website was long distance eg. australia or asia. Because you lose advantages such as full http 1.1 compliance and a direct connection to the webserver, and if the proxy doesnt have the page cached which is often the case on dynamic site's such as this forum it will be slower not faster.
