I'm wondering if the stub caches catch the queries that would otherwise
cause a prefetch, so instead of a newly hot cache in the recursive server,
the stubs encounter a high latency refill. But as you say, the unlucky
slow queries are probably not any more likely than they are without stub
caches.

time. Smooth or slight. Occasional rain at first. Moderate becoming good.
