Bind can cache a lot of data and works best when all of the data can fit
in memory without being paged out.  If your system starts to swap because
of the amount of data being cached by Bind, your performance will be
terrible.  You probably need more memory.  You could use whatever tools
your system provides to examine your memory and swap usage.
