Absolutely - change the DNS _and_ put something like DD-WRT on your router with dnsmasq as the local caching proxy server. Nothing beats that per Steve Gibson's DNS benchmark!

It wasn't - this is just a DNS benchmark that does DNS resolution in loop and measures how long it took etc. Nothing requiring security expertise.

Besides I don't understand why few people are after Gibson - he is generally on the mark - that's not to say he doesn't make mistakes - but nothing that makes me want to totally ignore him.
