## Previous results
`hickory-dns/target/release/resolve -n 127.0.0.1:2253 -t A domain.tld` ran
* 1.97 ± 0.28 times faster than `/usr/sbin/drill -p 2253 -Q A domain.tld @127.0.0.1`
* 5.63 ± 1.16 times faster than `bind9/bin/dig/dig -p 2253 +short A domain.tld @127.0.0.1`
## Notes
Custom build of drill gives 2x slower speed,
so that one in results.txt is from Void packages.
