I repeated that performance test done with bind [1] using now Robert's MFC

libpthread (via libmap.conf) and build bind with threads option. In the
new test I did this.

I used the same methodology, same zone file and same server hardware that
I used in [3].

Whether this patch improves performance or not will depend on the nature of
the workload and hardware configuration. It will only help on CPU-bound
multiprocessor systems, which probably describes top level domain name
servers well, but may describe less loaded systems less well. I'm not sure
what configuration Jinmei was using specifically in his testing and
evaluation; since Jinmei is about to become a FreeBSD developer, hopefully
we can get him involved further in this conversation.

Great. I will repeat the test with a larger zone, like a top level
domain name. If I see improvement with the patch, I will let you know
guys.
