Below is the list of changes made to the web.config file of Sitecore CMS 6.0.1 rev.090212 as compared to the one in Sitecore CMS 6.0.0 rev.090120. 

1. Add the following processor to the httprequestbegin pipeline on the first position: 
   <processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.PreProcessRequest.CheckIgnoreFlag, Sitecore.Kernel" />
2. Add the following processor to the httpRequestEnd pipeline on the first position: 
   <processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.PreProcessRequest.CheckIgnoreFlag, Sitecore.Kernel" />
3. Add the following processor to the renderLayout pipeline on the first position: 
   <processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.PreProcessRequest.CheckIgnoreFlag, Sitecore.Kernel" />
4. Add the following processor to the renderField pipeline on the first position: 
   <processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.RenderField.SetParameters, Sitecore.Kernel" />
5. Change value of the DictionaryFolder key from: 
   <add key="DictionaryFolder" value="/sitecore/shell/tdf" />
   to:
   <add key="DictionaryFolder" value="/sitecore/shell/RadControls/Spell/tdf" />
6. Change value of the LayoutNotFoundUrl setting from: 
   <setting name="LayoutNotFoundUrl" value="/sitecore/nolayout.html" />
   to:
   <setting name="LayoutNotFoundUrl" value="/sitecore/service/nolayout.html" />
7. (optional) Change the Threshold parameter value from 500MB to 800MB. This is a recommended value for Sitecore solutions, however it might require additional tuning in cases where the application uses a higher amount of memory: 
   <param desc="Threshold">800MB</param>
8. (optional) Change ClearCaches, GarbageCollect and AdjustLoadFactor parameter value from true to false to avoid decreasing performance on servers where Sitecore might reach the MemoryMonitor.Threshold limit. Notice however that setting ClearCaches to false in some situations can result in OutOfMemory exceptions when there is not enough RAM available to the ASP.NET process: 
   <ClearCaches>false</ClearCaches>
   <GarbageCollect>false</GarbageCollect>
   <AdjustLoadFactor>false</AdjustLoadFactor>
9. Remove the fastCaches section: 
   <fastCaches>
           <fastCache type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.FastMediaCache, Sitecore.Kernel">
             <param desc="Url prefix">/sitecore</param>
             <param desc="Site name">shell</param>
             <memoryCacheSize>200KB</memoryCacheSize>
           </fastCache>
           <fastCache type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.FastMediaCache, Sitecore.Kernel">
             <param desc="Url prefix">/</param>
             <param desc="Site name">website</param>
             <memoryCacheSize>200KB</memoryCacheSize>
           </fastCache>
   </fastCaches>
10. Added to section /configuration/Sitecore/settings: 
    <!--  KEEP LOCK AFTER SAVE FOR ADMIN USERS
    Set this value to true if you want to Administrator users to keep the lock on an item after saving
    it in the Page Editor.
    Notice: For regular users, the "Keep Lock After Save" item in the core database will determine whether
    to keep the lock or not.
    Default value: false
    -->
          <setting name="KeepLockAfterSaveForAdminUsers" value="false" />
