Just in case someone here wants to take sides, have a look at this thread on

(the thread actually goes back earlier than that, but I can't be bothered going
looking for it because I can't stand that awful PiperMail interface)
What I've never understood is why (almost) everyone tries addresses in
sequence instead of in parallel.
Even applications that routinely open two or more concurrent connections
to the server first try IPvX, then wait many seconds, then try IPvY. Why
not try both in parallel and use whatever address answers first?
