I don't think I'd seen the logging stanza, but yes, logging to syslog is a bad 
thing, and logging queries to syslog is even worse.  Having had someone pick 
this out of an strace output is indeed awesome.

To reduce the load on named in general, just turn off query logging in the 
named.conf, or, you can leave the stanza in and put a "querylog no;" in your 
options stanza so that it is not started when named starts (I'm not sure what 
version introduced the querylog option, so you may need to test this.
