I did that in ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile.d/kde.sh, and just to be safe I 
even rebooted. I opened a terminal and did 'echo $KDE_NO_IPV6', and it 
did say true. It might of made it a little faster, but it is still 
painfully slow. Is konqueror/khtml by nature just a bit slower than the 
gecko-based browsers, or what?
