seems to be correct too. btw. i use a DNS server (freebsd's std bind)
which seems to work correctly too (responses ok, performance ok).

firebird and gaim performance is ok when running, the bad perf. occurs
on startup :( so currently i think it could be a problem with ide
controler oder disk/drive settings (?)

i do not need IPv6 but is still enabled. i will disable it. do u think
this could have such an incluence on  performace ?
