[NR] I didn't saw yet any option (logging or statistics) that allows an
administrator to know which time Bind is taking to process a query (by type
of query) and answer to it . This could be saved as general indicators
associated to the number of incoming queries  (divided by type of query).
If this is not possible yet, is there any log that can be activated that
allows me to know the time that Bind is is taking to process a query in
order to build some post-processing logic that could give me these
indicators.

Note: I'm considering questions to an authoritative server
