Due to the above average resources consumed by public keys, the number of separate keys should be kept proportional to what is required to authenticate physical sources within the domain. Excessive quantities of these public keys in DNS, when employed by an application as ubiquitous as email, may negatively impact DNS performance and stability.

This is good, except "resources" may be too generic. I was specifically noting the memory footprint. I don't believe CPU overhead or bandwidth utilization directly impacts the cache, though these may impact the system. I would recommend swapping out "resources" for "memory".
