Openwrt Dansguardian - Performance and speed suggestions

Question

I have a setup at home as follow:

DHCP clients  -----> (wifi)(nat) Openwrt -----> (eth)Main Router

DHCP clients get ip from 192.168.42.0/24 subnet.

The device I'm using is TPlink MR3020 with Barrier Breaker. I'm using an older version because after installing newer version I cannot install packages that'll enable to use USB HDD - device space shortage.

The configuration is like this:

DANSGUARDIAN:

# specify each IP on an individual filterip line.
filterip = 192.168.42.1
# the port that DansGuardian listens to.
filterport = 8888
# the ip of the proxy (default is the loopback - i.e. this server)
proxyip = 192.168.42.1
# the port DansGuardian connects to proxy on
proxyport = 3128

PRIVOXY

confdir /etc/privoxy
logdir /var/log
filterfile default.filter
logfile privoxy
actionsfile match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites and maybe overruled later on.
actionsfile default.action   # Main actions file
#actionsfile user.action      # User customizations

FIREWALL:

config redirect
    option _name 'dansguardian'
    option proto 'tcp'
    option src 'lan'
    option dest_port '8888'
    option src_dport '80'
    option src_dip '!192.168.42.1'
    option dest_ip '192.168.42.1'

I need couple of advices regarding my internet speed and DG performance:

The performance and speed is generally good. With a few setbacks though, especially when DG is actively filters more than one clients, I experience small delays.
When someone texts the clients via iPhone iMessages, the message doesn't show up. If I connect to a wifi other than OpenWRT, it works.
I know for the fact there is not a %100 solution to this but I want to know whether there any OpenWRT-specific solution to HTTPS filtering using DG? I'm using url and ip filtering for famous websites (like Facebook), but it is static.

Any suggestions?
