Unbound is *said* to be factor 10 times faster. If you are searching for
resolver only, you are fine with unbound. Be sure to run unbound-control-setup
the first time and to let it create some keys or you will not be able to
control your unbound resolver via command line:

unbound-control flush example.com

will flush the cache for example.com. Useful when you setup a DNSSEC domain
or TLSA or ... and you don't get it right the first time. It so happened here
... ;)
