I run a dnscache (djbdns) local DNS cache on my gateway and it caches most of the DNS entries I need on a daily basis so getting results back is much faster than getting them from google.
With a local DNS cache on my network for the same domain name I get replies within 30 or so milliseconds, with Google's DNS servers there is at least another 60 ms or so required for the round trip, making most of the queries take 90 ms. Now that may not seem like a lot, and most likely I will spend more time waiting on a website to load, but in the long run it does make a difference.
