You would increase the cache size, as you're only using about 1GB of ram and have 16GB available. You also have 16 (v)cpus, but the CPU usage is under 800%. If I am not mistake, the CPU usage reported by dnsdist is "% of full utilisation of 1 cpu", so it should theoretically go up to 1600%.

If you do want to reduce the CPU usage, you might want to experiment with simplifying your lua rules and see if that improves or not.

Kind Regards,
