As can be seen under f.root-servers.net at the following url (use "IPv6
well known destinations"): http://www.sixxs.net/misc/latency/latency/

F is at about 100ms in IPv6 for most destinations, ~3ms from ptlis01
though. Then again if I look at f.root-servers.net over IPv4 in that
same graph the average is ~150ms... hmmm IPv6 is better as IPv4? :)

See the off-list message for an offer from someone.
