A google search on "jaunty ipv6"
brought me this:
http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/04/howto-disable-ipv6-at-ubuntu-jaunty.html

ipv6 is built into the kernel now, so either of the 2 methods described are 
required. I didn't notice any speedup here, but I do use OpenDNS which speeds 
address lookups a lot.
