These sites use statistics tracking and adserving via thirdparties that do not have their nameserver (or loadbalancer) configured properly for IPV6. Nothing you can do about it, other then complain to them to switch service, or be very creative in your firewall. The reason that firefox is slightly faster, is that it forces a lower timeout on IPV6 requests. Not configured properly means: they don't answer them, making the resolver wait until timed out. Have several of these in one page all loading 1x1 pixel gifs and browser detection scripts and it adds up. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.
