Fair points — blocklist‑based local resolvers can indeed be slower, and raw speed alone doesn’t capture the bigger systemic issues. The tool isn’t trying to measure microsecond‑scale differences, but rather provide a clear comparison of resolver behavior under load and over time. Things like EDNS handling and service affinity are exactly the kind of deeper characteristics that benchmarking can help surface, so users can decide which trade‑offs matter most for their environment.
