Very.  Many ISPs have overloaded nameservers, or nameservers that are 
not well-configured.

Speed is usually increased significantly, too -- dozens or hundreds 
of milliseconds round-trip time between me and the nameserver(s) at 
my ISP will really add up over a surprisingly short period of time, 
when you have to do that for virtually every single new TCP 
connection.
