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.

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.
