curl-library

Curl/LibCurl compiled on OS X without --disable-ipv6 is really slow

The library version being used is 7.11.0-20031217. Compiled under OS X
10.2.8.

We have not investigated the why, but have determined that if
curl/libcurl is complied on OS X without the --disable-ipv6 option
performance is severely and noticeably degraded. curl/libcurl takes an
extremely long time resolving the host or host IP. Compiling with the
--disable-ipv6 option alleviates the delays entirely. Incidentally,
this occurs when run on vanilla installations of OS 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.

any thoughts?
