This has long been an issue; particularly for Australian users where using a foreign DNS server will cause CDN requests to travel across the Pacific Ocean. This is one example (from 2010): http://apcmag.com/why-using-google-dns-opendns-is-a-bad-idea...

From my location Google DNS terminates within the country - so no issue there. Not sure about OpenDNS, however.
