Peter--

BIND 9 is a resource hog when it comes to memory due to the
inefficient way it does caching.  I restart BIND once a day just so I
don't have to deal with performance issues after running BIND for a
month.  It's not "relatively lightweight," and is in fact rather
bloated for what it does.

Just because it's the "reference implementation" doesn't mean it's the
best that's out there.
