If your DNS is local you won't see that much time savings by using the
IMail DNS cache.  But in a speed comparison of a memory read vs. a
network IO operation the memory read wins.

>Also, enabling the DNS cache

how is having Imail do DNS caching more efficient than letting Imail 
make 1 or 2 ms queries to a caching DNS, perhaps on the Imail machine.

If DNS were on the same machine, Imail and DNs would be running two 
caches of the same data.

If the caching DNS were on the Imail LAN, the DNS query 
round-trip-time, RTT, from Imail across the LAN to the DNS cache is 
still only a handful of ms, a minuscule component of delay in an SMTP 
sending session that is often 10,000 ms minimum.
