IPV6 is an Internet protocol. Currently most applications use IPV4 and this can cause conflicts which slow down your system.
Complete the following to disable it.
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list
and type this in:
alias net-pf-10 off
Then save the file.

Another issue to improve speed it to change the Ubuntu journaling system to data=writeback system.
* Open your Grub boot menu.
sudo nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Look for the Defoptions and Altoptions and make them look like the entry below.
# defoptions=quiet splash rootflags=data=writeback
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single rootflags=data=writeback
* You need to update your Grub since you have altered it.
sudo update-grub
* Now we are going to edit the Fstab because it will be expecting these options.
sudo nano -w /etc/fstab
* Now you are going to want to add the (data=writeback and noatime=0) flags to your hard drive. It might be a little confusing because of the new naming system. Look for the (,errors=remount-ro) and add it afterwards to make it look like our example.
defaults,errors=remount-ro,data=writeback,noatime 0
* Now you tell your system to use them both.
sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive
