I see, that makes sense. I'm still having trouble interpreting the
measurements, given that pageload can be blocked by additional DNS queries
and HTTP requests. For example, could an analytics provider interfere with
performance evaluation here, if it were present in a lot of pages? Or, what
if the results indicate a performance problem in one common hosting vendor
(anything from AWS to Wordpress)? As I said, the paper is a welcome
contribution, but I find the results surprising and want to look more. I
would have expected DoH and DoT to be about the same in practice, but your
paper does not show this.

Understood--I meant that I looked for a separate download and didn't see
one (thank you for sending it along).

thanks,
