Comment(by dyfrgi):

 The overhead is minimal. I wrote a short C program to benchmark how long
 it takes to run res_init 100 times, and the result was about 0.003
 seconds. This will be slightly higher if other things are done in between,
 but resolv.conf should stay in cache for the duration of (e.g.) startup,
 when many connections are initiated. When run more times, it scales
 roughly linearly. 10 times (closer to the number of connections initiated
 by most users, I suspect) takes 0.000534 seconds.

 I've attached the C program, if anyone wants to verify this. Compile with
 gcc -lresolv res_init_bench.c -o res_init_bench.
