This [1] is a measurement of query/answer (qa) latency within a DNS 
resolver. The traffic I sent to this resolver is a sample of a copy of 
real customer traffic with a increasing sample rate.

I started with a query rate of 1 query per second (qps) which is the 
average equivalent of 10 clients. After two days I increased the query 
rate to 10qps (100 clients). After another day 100qps and so on. The 
average qa latency at 1qps is ~60ms, while it is ~3ms at 30kqps:

10 clients (1qps): ~60ms
100 clients (10qps): ~35ms
1.000 clients (100qps): ~25ms
10.000 clients (1kqps): ~10ms
100.000 clients (10kqps): ~6ms
300.000 clients (30kqps): ~3ms

I suppose, the reasons for these unexpected results are the increasing 
use of CDNs and their use of very short TTLs for their RRs.
