Just as fast as a DNS lookup. It can be cached anywhere (even locally, with your own name server on your own machine). It's also almost exactly the same as DNS

Just as fast as a DNS lookup. It can be cached anywhere (even locally, with your own name server on your own machine).
It's also almost exactly the same as DNS regarding name changing. You have to wait about 10 minutes for the blockchain to register a name, and then about 24 hours before all the cache servers update it.
