Good call - I do see that:

'max-cache-size 90%' - setting to 5529MB (out of 6144MB)

However, it only shows up once in the named logs I
have dating back to February 8th, possibly from the
earlier 9.16.30 version.  Removing the
'max-cache-size' directive and restarting named (even
with 'severity debug'), I don't see this line in the
logs now.  Not sure why that would be.

That number seems right.  I guess for the overall
system load, that default value was too high, and my
setting it (to 2GB, in this case) seems to have
resolved the problem for me.
