Consumer ISP's who don't proactively take care of security/abuse usually end up with harvesting-bots which consume significant amount of DNS resources, typically doing anything from a few dozen to a thousand queries _a_second_. A few hundred of these will seriously hamper an usually provisioned recursive server.If you take a look at the dslreports.com forums, there are numerous complains about DNS performance from various DSL and cable modem users. I'm not sure how reasonable these complains are. The usual solution from other users is to install a piece of Windows software called "Treewalk" which will magically cure their problems.
