- +2% for recursions, if identical queries (except for destination
and query ID) in the reply list, avoid re-encoding the answer.
+ - removed TODO items for optimizations that do not show up in
+ profile reports.

- speedup of root-delegation message encoding by 15%.
TODO items.
-o #define BIT_... different on bigendian and smallendian systems so that
- the htons on flags is not needed to send a message from the cache.
-o speed up pkt domain name decompression loop detection using counter perhaps.
-o detect OS/400 pthreads implementation that allows upgrading to writelock
- on pthreads rwlocks and use it to examine-rd before storing-wr rrset cache.
o understand synthesized DNAMEs, so those TTL=0 packets are cached properly.
o understand NSEC/NSEC3, aggressive negative caching, so that updates to
NSEC/NSEC3 will result in proper negative responses.
-o scrubber has slow pkt_subdomain and pkt_strict_subdomain functions.
o get serverselection algorithm out of local optimum.
make subtargets to get rtt info for a couple of targets, like fetch-policy.
or send out multiple queries to multiple servers.
get stats, get memstats, get ..., reload, clear one zone from cache
o watch for spoof nearmisses. Keep counter of nearmisses and print that
in the stats lines, operator can determine what level is a redalert.
-o improve compression of DNS packets by first puttig uncompressible rrs, then
- compress to their rdata.
+o improve compression of DNS packets by first putting uncompressible rrs, then
+ compress to their rdata. Messes up the ordering of RRs, so bad for interop.
o NSID rfc 5001 support.
o timers rfc 5011 support.
o Treat YXDOMAIN from a DNAME properly, in iterator (not throwaway), validator.
