There are problems with both 'keep alive' and 'pipelining' though. There are several threads on the Mozillazine forums about excessive memory usage and things being 'orphaned' in memory (browser plugins like the Acrobat reader) when people use these features. After seeing these threads I disabled 'keep alive' (never even tried pipelining) and several sites I had been having problems with started working much better.
Even with these problems, it's much better to be using Mozilla or Firefox than IE. Here comes another exploit:

This time it's a
graphic being used to break in to your system, not an active-x or a script! Yes, IE is even buggy in the way it displays plain old .jpg or .gif graphics. Expect to hear more about this soon. It could be a very big event since it gets around all existing security enhancements for IE.
