Make sure that you are using dst or dstdomain as the ACL types on teh
lareg lists instead of regex.
The regex is quite slow and large lists often become a drag. After
splitting the lists into 'need regex' and dstdomain eth speed increase is
still often worth the extra time spent maintaining two lists.
Make sure there is extra space on the cache disk. All the tutorials
mention making the cache 60%-80% of drive size. I can't recall what the
exact reasons were but it had something to do with OS-level handling on
the drive.
