Google today unveiled its free DNS name resolution service dubbed Google Public DNS adding yet another faster DNS option for users to choose from along with OpenDNS and DNS Advantage, now if you are confused which DNS server responds faster from your location here are two three tools which should give you the definitive answer.
If you are looking for a professional grade hardcore DNS speed benchmarking tool, multi-platform, open-source utility namebench would be the answer, capable of utilizing your web browser history, tcpdump output, or standardized datasets to benchmark DNS server speeds namebench provide well laid-out, easy to understand individualized recommendation.
However, if you are looking for something fast and noob-friendly free windows-only utility DNS Tester (36 KB only) gets the job done but you will need to manually evaluate and compare the results.
Update : As shared in the comment below free utility DNSBench would also be my choice for fast, easy and comprehensive DNS Benchmarking on windows.

How does Full Speed™ work?
By default all Windows Operating Systems are configured to work with general and average Internet and network settings to accommodate the data rate capabilities of the communications technologies that existed at the time of Window's design. Windows XP is now over 7 years old and nowadays the average speed of data on the internet and on networks is far greater than it was even a couple of years ago and so Windows Internet configurations and settings are out of date and it is the users who are taking the hit in the performance of their machines when online. Even Vista works in the same way as XP.
The default Windows settings and configurations means that anyone with any type of Internet connection will not be receiving the Full Speed™, value or performance of their Internet connection especially with broadband.
Full Speed™'s optimization will instantly configure your Windows Operating System and Browser for optimal high speed internet access and will configure it for the fastest performance possible for your connection.
Full Speed™ automatically addresses more than 50 settings and tweaks them all for the best performance possible. Full Speed™ also adds/modifies system files and registry entries to get the best performance possible. The combination of all this results in amazing speed increases.
Now you can enjoy the Full Speed™ and performance capabilities of the technology which you invested in.
