+Performance and resiliency
+**************************
+
+For DNS resolvers, the most important parameter from performance perspective
+is cache hit rate, i.e. percentage of queries answered from resolver's cache.
+Generally the higher cache hit rate the better.
+
+Performance tunning should start with cache :ref:`cache_sizing`
+and :ref:`cache_persistence`.
+
+It is also recommended to run :ref:`systemd-multiple-instances` (even on a
+single machine!) because it allows to utilize multiple CPU threads and
+increases overall resiliency.
+
+Other features described in this section can be used for fine-tunning
+performance and resiliency of the resolver but generally have much smaller
+impact than cache settings and number of instances.
