The caching name server should respond in a millisecond or so.
You probably need to use the networking GUI to make the change
to resolv.conf permanent, too.
Hm, those are "host -v" responses which do include a lot of data.
The time you're seeing is mostly what it takes to print it to the
screen. Try "host -a". It's a shorter printout. (Regardless -v on
google is about 2ms here. It just performs several queries each with
its own 2ms or 3ms. That's not long enough to leave this system and
get anywhere else. Ping time to the first hop is about 25ms.)
