Freebsd 5.2.1 Performance Woes

[Eric Schuele]

Well... you can't get much newer to BSD than me.  So, most likely I have no 
place in this thread at all (please be gentle).  And I certainly do not 
want to get in the middle of something that appears to be on the virge of 
becoming personal...

But....

I was experiencing very VERY poor performance TCP/IP wise, untill I dug up 
a tip from google....
Someone mentioned that many ISPs do not fully support IPv6, and that 5.2.1 
would try to use it first.... and then after a timeout it would try IPv4.  

So in my case, the solution was to remove IPv6 from my kernel and rebuild.  
Things zip right along now.
