According to the bind9 port makefile, using threads is _not_  
recommended. Specifically, it seems it's a recommendation from ISC

# ISC staff has informed me that for 9.3.x, threads are always a bad  
idea.
# Leave the affirmative option for those that want to experiment.


It would be a good idea to add this note. It's good to experiment  
with performance, but people running production servers should be  
aware of this restriction.
