Or it could be read as BIND loads all your zones to keep frequently used 
data in memory, before answering any queries. So MaraDNS has the overhead 
of having to load the data on demand before answering any queries?!? 
(Espically if you are unlucky with the buffers.)

And as for Bind using much memory? Well on this box where this mail is 
coming from, it's using about 4 megs for 30+ domains and acting as a 
caching name server as well.
