This was my understanding (after reading the text from rndc) as well.
But to my surprise:

I tested "rndc reload" against "rndc reconfig" on five differrent servers, Solaris and Linux, 9.8.0 and 9.4.1. On all servers the same result:
Both commands take roughly the same amount of time! Sometime rndc reconfig even took a bit longer.

I have not the slightest clue why, I had suspected that rndc reconfig would be much faster, especially is there is no altering in the config at all.

But the results are clear: rndc reconfig is no solution for me.
