>Or just run a resolver yourself.

I did this for a while, but ~300ms hangs on every DNS resolution sure do get old fast.

Ouch. What resolver? What hardware?

With something like a N100- or N150-based single board computer (perhaps around $200) running any number of open source DNS resolvers, I would expect you can average around 30 ms for cold lookups and <1 ms for cache hits.

Not a hardware issue, but a physics problem. I live in NZ. I guess the root servers are all in the US, so that's 130ms per trip minimum.
