How does *not* responding to a UDP query take longer for the *server*
than responding to UDP a query? Both responding and (deliberately) not
responding require identifying the query, but not responding bypasses
the time the server would need to construct the response, plus time
spent in the network stack. (I'm assuming we don't care about client
side "expense".)

not responding server will usually receive more queries.
