You are confusing developer bandwidth with network bandwidth.

He's not saying IPv6 network performance is slow, he's saying he doesn't have as much time as he'd like to work on it.

He's saying it is in a poor state and development is slow. My supposition is that this means there are missing features and a lack of performance optimization. Presumably the DFlyBSD network stack is now different enough that they can't just pull in the FreeBSD IPv6 stack and drop it in.
More people using IPv6 on DragonFly would help tease out issues... but then again more people using IPv6 in general would help, too.
