response times would be a good reason
an RPZ zone still goes through the motions

forged (local empty) zone:
dig  mmmm.xxxtoolbar.com
<snip>
;; Query time: 0 msec

(all local zones hte same , 0 msec)

RPZ:
dig bobi.at
;; Query time: 996 msec

(avg response time it seems for RPZ'd zones)

So it sure as hell doesnt work the same as a forged "empty" zones

RPZ is awesome if you want to wallgarden a hostname, but for just speedy
dropping, empty zone beats it hands down even if it is messier requiring
its own zone.
