The journal reduces the cost of re-writing zone files: basically, the IXFR just gets appended to the journal, which is relatively cheap. For BIND 9.11 and earlier, it's probably worth setting it to some modest non-zero size (64KB? 1MB?). If you have any large frequently-updated zones they might benefit from a bigger journal to reduce zone file re-writes. In BIND 9.12 the max-journal-size is automatically set based on the zone size, so you should be able to remove any max-journal-size settings from your config. (I contributed this feature because I got fed up with worrying about them.)
