What sort of benchmarks do you envision?  Unlike named, unbound is
intended to serve only one client (localhost) or a small number of
clients (a SOHO).  With that kind of load, one could be ten times slower
than the other and you wouldn't notice, because other factors, like
network latency, completely dwarf the time the nameserver itself spends
servicing a request.

(note that I fully expect unbound to hold its own on corporate networks
with thousands of clients, but I doubt my boss is going to let me run
performance comparisons on the university's network)
