While I never used unbound, but only the PowerDNS recursor on my exit nodes, I always set the number of threads to the amount of logical CPU cores and let the linux scheduler do the rest.

I do wonder about a reasonable number.

Hi Toralf
All F3 Netze relays together are using one unbound with 4 CPU Cores. Each consumes about ~20%. It's a Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz (w/o Hyperthreading).

Ah thx, so I used 4 threads here for my 2 relaays and observed the pattern, that the first 2 threads have response times of > 512 sec, where the remainign 2 are more or less unused.
So it seems, # of relays + 1 would a good rule of thumb ?
