I tried it without ISC_MEM_USE_INTERNAL_MALLOC (since that was the
original worst-case), and the time stayed about the same as the
worst-case.

My testing scenario has been to run the daemon in the foreground with
"-g", and then shutdown via ^C as soon as the large zone has been loaded.
So we are just loading and destroying the DB.
