Inhibiting the loading of the ipv6 kernel module seems to have
significantly helped the slowdown in moz mail. Also, it seems to have
fixed another somewhat annoying pause: After shutting down all apps in
kde and going to the panel (which I keep hidden) to access the logout
icon, the panel would refuse to "pop-up" for several seconds with the
mouse over it. Without the ipv6 module, it seems to pop-up immediately
after shutting down all apps. (Never saw pop-up delay with apps just
running.)
