Comment (by mcs):

 The following data is far from scientific, but using tor 0.2.4.21 (TBB
 3.6.1) on my MacBook Pro, the wall clock time to parse the geoip6 file is
 not noticeable.  Memory usage for the tor process with DisableNetwork=1
 (to avoid random effects caused by network access) is as follows:

 geoip only:       8.2MB
 geoip and geoip6: 8.9MB
 neither:          6.4MB

 So why don't we just bundle the geoip6 file and have tor use it?
