Unbelievable, this bug still manages to bug people on the latest and fully updated Ubuntu 11.04! The strangeness of the situation is as follows:
ubuntu 11.04, uname -a: Linux 3.0.0-mine #3 SMP Thu Jul 28 14:03:44 CDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Where, with firefox 5.0, epiphany, chromium some websites take very long time to load, while everything else involving connection is fast. E.g., w3m, lynx and especially elinks are extremely fast! At the same time on!!!! On the ubuntu 10.04: uname -a Linux 2.6.35.13-mine #1 SMP Fri May 6 00:20:57 CDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux Exact same browsers are almost as fast as their text-based brethren. So, IMHO, the problem resides not with the actual browser(s) but with something else. This is getting ridiculous! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417757 Title: [regression] all network apps / browsers suffer from multi-second delays by default due to IPv6 DNS lookups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/417757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
