Well obviously, I just made it up. 

What would make my methodology valid?  A screen capture of the results 
of a 5 minute queryperf on the AS4 binary before then after compiling 
with version #s and config files?  It wasn't a formal benchmark test any 
more than the initial post that started this thread.

For bind9 under Linux, you should recompile bind9, and disable thread 
support.  It may be great for Solaris, but light threads in AS4.4_64 
just isn't there.
