More info is at http://www.verisign-grs.com/dns/dnspro.html. I was going to give you a quick percentage of A and NS records (to total records) in the com zone, but I don't have a recent copy lying around on my local machine and it's time-consuming to grab and uncompress it (working on it now). If you can tell me more specifically what you're looking for, I'll run some stats for you on com, net and org.
