Wow.

For giggles I tried it on my FC4 machine with Firefox 1.5. It seemed a heckuva lot
faster after making the change... To be absolutely certain, I set it back to false
(enable IPV6), flushed caches, then tried again. Slow...

Funny thing is that I never really noticed that the page loads were sub-optimal. I'm
running local DNS so queries are usually pretty quick. I could imagine that the
speedup would be quite impressive with an ISPs DNS.

Awesome tip. :D
