I'm using optimisation settings based on [1] (the Debian version is 
compiled with libevent):

server:
     num-threads: 2

     msg-cache-slabs: 2
     rrset-cache-slabs: 2
     infra-cache-slabs: 2
     key-cache-slabs: 2

     rrset-cache-size: 100m
     msg-cache-size: 50m

     outgoing-range: 8192
     num-queries-per-thread: 4096

     so-rcvbuf: 4m
     so-sndbuf: 4m


I'm using the example from dnstap's site [2]:

dnstap:
     dnstap-enable: yes
     dnstap-socket-path: "/var/run/unbound/dnstap.sock"
     dnstap-send-identity: yes
     dnstap-send-version: yes
     dnstap-log-resolver-response-messages: yes
     dnstap-log-client-query-messages: yes

Yes, all tests is ok.

The packaged version from Debian Jessie (version 1.0.2).

Debian Jessie, the next-stable version.

I'm using a amd64 virtual machine with a two core CPU.
