Matt,

In some instances ipv6 causes a very noticeable slowdown in looking up
web pages. Perhaps you could put this into your faq.

To disable ipv6 in Firefox.
Enter about:config in the address bar.
Type ipv6 in the filter bar.
Double click on network.dns.disableIPv6 and change to true.

There are other settings that can help browsing speed as well,
network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
browser.turbo.enabled

These changes made me happy.

PS: Great distro
