yes, I arranged the master server list in a different order and nsd  
behave different.

The two minutes for the first, cold start ¹) I mentioned, are a tcp_timeout!
Looks like (my?) nsd instance cannot axfr from  
b.root-servers.net[2001:500:84::b]
which happen to be the first in my list.
Changing the order again let nsd fetch the root zone immediately after  
a cold start.

Everything is fine now.

Thanks,
Andreas

¹) cold start
- no database file
- no zone file written to disk
- no xfrd.state file
