The site is very clean looking and it is entertaining to look at the results.
That said, there are a number of problems with this:
1. As stated by other people here, this is only from the perspective of where the tests originated, and is somewhat irrelevant once the DNS result is cached by your ISP.
2. If you are using any of a number of modern browsers, DNS will be prefetched before you even click on any link, so the DNS time from a user perspective will be zero the majority of the time.
3. The point of this was originally for choosing a good host for shared JS files. It is much more meaningful to use a distributed host with location based DNS to point you to the nearest fastest server, rather than just making the DNS request itself as fast as possible. Why do you think Google has so many servers all around the world?
