AW: High memory consumption in bind 9.18.2

[Petr Špaček]

I would be very interested in hearing more!

In majority of our internal testing 9.16 has higher memory consumption 
than 9.18, especially when 9.18 is compiled with libjemalloc. And the 
differences are not small, for some configurations it can be even 2x or 
3x more on 9.16 than it is on 9.18.

If you encounter it again please get back to us so we can diagnose it.

Thank you!
