Generic reasons for recursive performance not to peg CPU?

[Doug Barton]

Thanks for the response, but you're answering a different question than 
I asked. :)  The question I'm interested in is, "Why is the recursive 
server not pegging the CPU?" I'm aware that there will be a difference 
in qps between auth-only and recursive, but the recursive server seems 
to be working a lot less hard than the auth server, and I can't figure 
out why.
