Here are some performance numbers for Bind_DLZ you may find interesting.

True but flat files sometimes don't provide the flexibility you might
need.
A web hosting company hosting 10's of thousands of domains might be a
good example.  Think about tech support needing to change an entry.  Or
automatic provisioning of domains, or parking domains.  

This is a lot easier to do with a DB backend.  Of course you could store
it all in a db and then write some scripts to dump the flat files and
cycle the server.  Doubt that would be very practical though.
