Very impressive CloudFlare.

Keep in mind that ping time isn't the only factor in DNS lookup speed. For me (sonic.net in Palo Alto):

ping 1.1.1.1: ~22ms

ping 8.8.8.8: ~19ms

dig @1.1.1.1: ~45ms

dig @8.8.8.8: ~70ms

Disclaimer: Eyeballed averages over a few samples. A more rigorous test of DNS lookup times would be cool to see.

Disclosure: I work for Cloudflare, but not on DNS.

So logging accounts for 25ms ;)
