Yup, but so far I don't see an improvement in the Pingdom data. But I'll probably need to collect more data.

I just did a webpage speed test, which showed a 1,112 ms DNS Lookup time: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140426...2/details/

What might cause that - is that CloudFlare or my webhosting? If I search on-line I only come across resources that talk about reducing the number of DNS lookups, which I already did. I could not find much about reducing the first DNS lookup time.

Webspeed tests from other locations, such as Germany (http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140426...details/), show a DNS lookup of 96ms.
