130ms is perceivable but still quite small, and you’d only hit it once per domain (per TTL). If you care enough to intentionally use it then I wouldn’t worry about it. You’ll rarely notice the difference.
There are a few other services with similar ethos that you may want to check out as alternatives. Quad9 is the one I remember off the top of my head.
I'm getting 153 ms. I'm in Europe. Other DNS servers are like 40ms.
I was using Quad9 for quite some time, but I had consistent problems with the DNS sometimes not working.
In my local network I switched to pihole with unbound as the resolver. Though this does require a bit more setup. I have unbound setup to serve expired records from the cache & prefetch comment queries, this helps with most of the delay.
On my phone I use dnsforge.de when I am not at home for example, and haven't had any problems with unresponsive DNS so far.
