I was curious so I tried namebench. It's great! A while ago it seemed that my ISP's DNS servers were slow, seemingly referring a lot of my DNS queries to higher level servers repeatedly, so I installed dnsmasq as a caching nameserver on my desktop machine. Running namebench confirmed that there are faster DNS servers that I can place in front of my ISP's primary DNS (Google and OpenDNS) so I have done that. Now dnsmasq finds my habitual website haunts at 0 ms and all my other website lookups average under 40 ms, or 150% faster. Thanks, Galen!
