Speed of BIND vs. W2k DNS

Hi,

I am testing BIND v9.1.0b1 (SPARC, 450MHz) and W2k DNS (PIII 500MHz).
The W2k seems to be 50% faster currently. I am doing the tests on
isulated network, the objective is to find out the right platfrom
especially for the round-robin answers. Does someone know how to
tune up BIND to catch up with W2k DNS? 

Also, I noticed that the round-robin answers from the BIND are generated
by random, i.e. the first values are not consecutive. 
Is there any way to make it that way?

Thanks,

Jozef
