[Unbound-users] some performance tests

[Ondřej Surý]

Mauro,

we are also missing patterns you are testing. Do you test entirely random
domain name every time or you are repeating same queries (real question is
whether resolver cache is used or not). Also what is your upstream link
connectivity? Your bandwith may also affect results.

Ondrej.
