Only the stuff Rick Jones has posted previously, mostly for
authoritative servers. I don't think Nominum, or anyone else,
are disputing it. BIND 9 does more sanity tests so that must
cost something even if it was coded similarly to 8. The last
reports I saw suggested the gap was closing, but it was still
nearly a factor of 2.
