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

We did, same results. Flipping the build back and forth on the same

times will of course vary slightly (as would be expected) but the delta
remains relatively consistent with the IPv6 build taking orders of
magnitude longer to complete.
