Description

When a interface is selected as a IPv6 "Track interface" type it will calculate all possible prefix posibilities in a drop down.
For a 6to4 prefix that could be 65535 possible networks. This leads to a very slow loading page.

I've improved the printing of the select options somewhat using sprintf() but it's still slow but atleast it doesn't slow chrome as much as it did.

Ideally we have a piece of JS that "helps" fill this drop down asynchronously so that the page does not halt loading.

Not sure if this is worth it though, most ISPs are rolling with either /56 or /60 which is respectively 256 or 16 networks. Which makes the page load issue moot. So that would leave just the issue with 6to4, or if ISPs ever decide to go DHCP6 all in with /48 prefixes.
