For example, if I run 19000 tcp querys at 5-6 querys per second, I end up with about 400 querys failed due to timeouts.  Most of the time outs occur in batches, where I see all querys or every other query timeout. Is that simply too many tcp querys for PDNS to handle?

1000 sounds like it should be enough. Can you share how you are running these queries? And is PowerDNS logging anything during your tests, especially around times of failure?
