I am sorry you misunderstand my post.

I mean, the 5+ packet sequence is what NSD does, this includes the extra
round trip. It is simpler code. NSD does not use TCP_CORK/NOPUSH.

EDNS0 is a better way to handle DNSSEC sizes than TCP. TCP is not used
much in DNS, mostly for zone transfers or 'very large replies'.
