+===== Increase DNS cache size =====
+Set **cache-size** to a rather high value (maybe 25,000 - by guess roughly one-eighth to one-fourth number of the domains you extracted from the database earlier) in /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf :
+<file bash /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf>
+cache-size=25000
+</file>
+and
+<code bash>
+sudo pihole restartdns
+</code>
+----
+===== Query domains from the list =====
+<code bash>
+time dig -f domains.list +noall +answer > /dev/null

+**NOTE:**  This will show you how much time it takes to query the number of domains you extracted from the database.
