166ms latency when accessed from Australia

[MRIS]

Google's Public DNS servers incur a 166ms latency when accessed from
Australia, making it slower to use these than those of one's ISP.

150ms from France. Far slower than my ISP's 30ms.
A good idea though. I hope they speed it up.

20 ms from italy

346ms from the Philippines (ISP is Smart Broadband Incorporated).

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!
