I can confirm this as well, I changed this setting at a site that had been
experiencing slow browsing and the problem went away completely.
An easier way to apply this setting, by the way, is to use an Active Directory
Group Policy Object (GPO) and set the
Computer Configuration
Windows Settings
Security Setttings
Local Policies
Security Options
Digitally sign client communications (when possible)
setting to "Disabled". This affects the same registry entry, but can be done at
a domain-wide level to affect all computers in the domain easily. That's what I
did and it worked a charm. Thanks for the tip David!
