Bad performance when using IPv4 and IPv6 together

Everyone,

        Whenever I compile the 2.4.8 kernel's IPv6 stack monolithically, or 
when I load it as a module, the system's networking speed slows dramatically.
TCP and UDP connections take an immensely long time, and whenever I attempt to
ping through my gateway, most of the ICMP packets have huge ms times (10000+)
or get dropped altogether.
        Is this a bug? I need to have access to the IPv6 stack so that I
can test my IPv6 netfilter programming efforts. Is there a way to include
both stacks and prevent performance degradation?

Thanks,

Brad
