55-60ms from Greece

[ssb]

Just reporting from Greece. 55-60ms is quite fast but much slower than
the 20ms of my provider's DNS. I wouldn't expect anything faster
though.
Nice move, Google!

In addition to the ping time, there's also the average resolve time.  

For example, if your ISP has a ping time of 20 ms, but mean time to resolve is 1 second, while Google Public DNS has a resolve time of 500 ms, but responds to everything in 1 ms, then the delay you feel will be:

Your Resolver: 1.02 seconds
Google Public DNS: 501 ms.

I doubt your resolver is that bad (hopefully :) ), but in the meantime, do try some comparative queries to see which is faster.  In the meantime, we'll work on our end to get the product closer to you all!

Thanks!
