Unbound performance tuning to prevent flood fails

Hi,
I've got vm based unbound and trying to tune unbound perfomance to able process huge loads.
For testing I'm using dnsflood utility. (https://github.com/nickwinn/dns-flood)

Server has 16 cores (unbound max-threads also 16) with 6GB of memory.
When I perfom flood, ./dnsflood A 10.0.0.10, server simply stops replying:

dig @10.0.0.10 google.com
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 28634, got 48552
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 28634, got 41394
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 28634, got 62162
;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 28634, got 25233
...

Trying this https://nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/howto-optimise/ but that doesn't help.
Maybe there is some perfomance tuning of unbound to help process massive loads?
