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.
