Why are my internet DNS lookups so much faster when using Root DNS, as opposed to my Internet Provider's DNS, or Cloudflare's DNS?
I thought Root DNS had to request a (.) dot server, then a domain, just to locate the authoritative DNS Nameserver. My ISP's DNS should just have that cache sitting around and be faster... but this is not the case. Root wins by 10ms.

tl;dr - Why isnt a public recursive DNS server faster than Root DNS?
