Hello,

I have a caching nameserver running 9.4.1-P1 (Sun Fire X4100, 2CPU, 
RedHat Linux 4, x86_64 arch). I have a feeling that BIND is using only 
one CPU, but I don't know how to confirm it. I've tried to run it 
without '-n' or with '-n 2' but without visible difference. Maybe 'top' 
is just lying...
