Apparently nscd serialises DNS queries thus slowing everything down when
an application (such as Squid) hits the resolver hard.  You may notice
something similar if you run a log processor executing many DNS resolver
queries - the resolver starts to slow.. right.. down.. .  .   .

It's not so much a Solaris thing as it depends more on how much memory you
have available;  I'm running with the default (which according to the
config file is "on") because I have half a gig of RAM.
