I do not understand this praticular point (the "are worse because of size" that is)
The duration and size of the transaction are, except for AXFR queries, independend on the size of the zone. Can you ellaborate?
Well, TLD servers get much more (legitimate) queries than the roots because there is only so much you can ask the roots before the entire root zone is in your cache. This is slightly harder with .com, for instance. :-)
