One other to try...
Check /etc/nsswitch.conf file... Look for..
Code:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4
Change the order to:
Code:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins
As suggested here:

Update: Another thought
Something else to try, try turning off IPv6
How to disable:

Wirez: I gave namebench a spin (I ran it when the problem first arose as well). But I don't see any report. It ran twice in GUI mode, finally I killed it, with nothing to show for it. I did run raw pings on the nameservers back then, and found them all close in speed.
Fire: I found the 'mdns4" spec missing from that line and added it. Otherwise the desired order was already there. I think I'd like to leave IP6 in place, as soon it probably will be necessary.
Thanks guys.

Do you have Chrome Browser installed.??
IIRC it will only show results if it detects you have Chrome browser default.??

That's a pretty weird qualification, it seems. I have a couple of chromium derivatives, one set as the system default.

If running better you're probably good... If you're feeling squirrelly you could disable (1) then enable (0) - for testing..
This is what gave me the idea..

I've been getting a little bit of regression on this (though it's still a lot better than it was, and some of it might be evening cable lag), so I decided to give that a try. Under the network connection I set IP6 to "Ignore", which grayed out the rest of the settings, so I guess that equals "off". I didn't see any change in dns speed, though, even after rebooting.
