Delay when performing actions over the internet

I installed Arch recently and there's a strange delay every time I go to a website, ssh to another server, check my email, update pacman, etc. This doesn't occur in Ubuntu (on the same machine), so I don't think it's the network. A more linux-savvy friend of mine thought it might be firewall-related, but I don't have iptables installed. Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone have any ideas?

Hostname set? ipv6 disabled? Try those to speed things up.

Re: Delay when performing actions over the internet

I have this problem on one of my machines. It generates IP packets with bad checksum.
But I don't know how to fix this. I have disabled ipv6 because of my router, but dome programs still want to use it. Those programs just can't connect, like gaim, svn, gftp... In general, when I have no choice for these programs, I do a nslookup before so there is no need to send ipv6 DNS query packets that are rejected by the router. For some site, I have their IP in /etc/hosts, like jabber, msn, google, irc...

I don't know why, with IPv6 disabled in modules and in sysctl, some programs still try to send ipv6 queries ?
