By restarting it, you're forcing it to dump all of that cached info, which means that it has to send out new queries if it subsequently needs any the info that had been cached. The effect is that QDNS will be somewhat less efficient until it builds its cache back up. So, you should allocate enough memory to QDNS for a reasonable cache (what that is depends on what kind of use your name server gets), then leave it alone and don't restart it unless absolutely necessary.
