For one you are probably running with the default my.cnf file. You would want to modify it to use a larger key_buffer which can help. However to do this you would first want to upgrade the amount of memory you are using. Which will allow you to up the recursor's amount of domains it holds in memory. This should help quite a bit.
Good luck.

Can somebody give an example of hardware specs for the authoritative server with recursor running? I run it on CentOS 5 with 2.6 GHz P4 and 1 GB of RAM. There's MySQL backend and about 700 domains hosted. Still the server experiences periods of slowness. I have already presented a link to rrd graphs for the server. Do I have to run a separate box with the recursor?
