Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects). Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:

Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)

Quit Safari (by force if necessary.) Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically. Select Safari â–¹ Preferences â–¹ Privacy â–¹ Remove all website data to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server.

Adding DNS servers to an existing list is normally futile as only the first working DNS server will ever be used.
You will find that adding the Open DNS servers greys out your ISP's server.

I think you will find there are considerably more Flash files than just cookies. There is a web based Flash utility to inhibit local storage although it does not remove history items.
Your remark about a greyed out DNS server perplexed me for a while. I suspect you are referring to the situation when a first local DNS server is inserted where only a DHCP server existed before. If so this is nothing to do with Open, ISP or any other specific types of DNS server. We do not know if the OP already had non-DHCP DNS servers listed. It is important to give general advice which will work in a wide range of cases although even I have assumed the OP is not behind a firewall with a proxy server!
