Me too. I just noticed it about a month ago when I installed my own
Unbound resolver instead of just sending all queries to 8.8.8.8.

Somebody later in this thread mentions that you shouldn't judge
resolution time by what the browser says. A few tests with dig and
nslookup tell me that with most domains I've never hit before (or which
have expired since I hit them), resolution usually takes less than a
second.

In my case, I'm temporarily assuming that before installing my own
resolver I never noticed how much of slow browser loading was due to
browser's inefficient dns operations.
