Sacrificing privacy for speed is a bad tradeoff in this instance as DNS request speed is over emphasized in almost all cases (case in point classifying 15ms vs 25ms as a "problem"). If a site is not already cached at the OS level than a typical DNS lookup from the central / east coast US to EU takes ~120-130ms. 8x slower may at first sound really bad until you pause to consider that the unit in question is milliseconds. Your web browser and the webpage itself are generally doing far more damage to your page load times than the DNS lookup.
