[Bug 24828] Re: IPv6 should be disabled by default

[Trent Lloyd]

Disabling IPv6 increaseing the throughput of your internet connection
makes no sense and I think thats just circumstantial, sorry :)

The place where it *does* make a difference is the speed of new
connections, it seems that in some cases certain dns servers ignore
requests for IPv6 records and so everytime you try to resolve an IPv6
address it waits for them to timeout.

These broken DNS servers should really be fixed, but the last point
could work, not to bother looking up, guess it would fix some of these
cases.

Could someone who experiences and is willing to let me login to their
machine please contact me? I'd love to try this as its never really
affected me.
