I can confirm this.

Serious scalability issues have been reported on a 12 core system
running bind 9.7-2. The system was only able to deliver ~110K queries
per second.

Using your SO_REUSEPORT patch and a modified bind using it. The same
system is able to deliver ~650K queries per seconds while maxing out
all cores completely.

Tom, Bill: do you have a timeline for merging this? Especially the
UDP bits?
