This morning I upgraded one of my two Name servers, a Sun V210, running 
Solaris 10. Prior to the upgrade, my named deamon typical ran around 5-10% 
utilization. Since the upgrade it seems to be hovering in the 15-23% 
range, which seems a bit high. There was mention this patch would have a 
performance impact, but I wasn't expecting quite this much. Is this 
expected?

Some stats from the upgraded server.
