That is difficult to answer without an understanding of TCP/IP networking, in this case upgrading to a snapshot you don't have to fiddle with any knobs, the aforementioned changes require no user intervention.
None of this will probably be relevant.. the send/receive windows probably shouldn't effect simple page loading, mostly larger downloads.
The problem can sometimes be related to OpenBSD's libc domain resolver, it's non-recursive and blocking, Firefox has a thread that does domain resolution and sometimes it can block while doing lookups and this can be frustrating to users of Linux or Windows, which often use asynchronous resolvers.
Some "local" issues that could help are disabling IPv6 lookups, in
about:config you can toggle
network.dns.disableIPv6.. and/or add
family inet4 to
/etc/resolv.conf, there is even a setting for bumping Firefox's internal domain cache.
The preferred solution is to have a local caching DNS server on your network, preferably on your local system.. many systems include their own to improve local lookups and to get immediate DNS errors on resolution failures.
Really, there could be many reasons for perceived slowdowns.. and without doing some investigations of your own, nobody here can give you an absolute fix.
