If you just compare the amount of dice-rolling and number-crunching required to resolve a single attack roll, d20 is the quicker game.

If it is necessary to include all that crap before the roll, I would definitely include it as lengthening the time it takes to resolve combat, and would therefore view D6 as indeed quicker, as that level of detail is rarely if ever present in a D6 game, nor would I view it as necessary..

Are you saying that d6 has no rules for bonuses or penalties to attack rolls?
